Life-saving donation comes from a caring coalition

What equated to a truckload of life-giving opportunities arrived at the front door of the Ko-Kwel Wellness Center on River Road in Eugene on July 15. A donation that crossed state borders and came from donors spanning a variety of cultural and economic demographics, just like the people they are hoping to save.

It arrived locally to the Reveille Foundation, a non-profit organization, whose mission is to help veterans and underserved people rebuild from the ground up, starting with stabilized housing, and staying through holistic healing. But the donation’s origin started much further away, through other connections to Reveille’s leadership.

“Every one of these donated kits represents an opportunity to save a life and connect someone to recovery,” said Ko-Kwel Wellness Center OTP Director Colleen Wray. “We are deeply grateful to the Reveille Foundation, and their partners, for their generous support. Partnerships like this allow us to expand overdose prevention efforts, increase access to Narcan, and continue educating our community that addiction is a treatable medical condition—not a moral failing.”
