September 29

September 29th,2024 is our 29th annual Problem Gambling Awareness Day.  We have been canvassing with local businesses to support the Take a Break Campaign. We thank those businesses that support their customers, employees, and community.

Please stay safe, and take care of yourself physically and your  mental health.

This year, 2024, we will be at the Bridgeway Run for Recovery Event in Salem, Oregon.

Take a Break Campaign

We are asking that our TAKE A BREAK campaign be observed again, asking those who struggle with gambling addiction to take a step back, check in to make sure if they are gambling they are able to do it responsibly.  If they are unable to stick to their money and time limits, that they seek help.  If you know someone who struggles, this is the time to start a conversation.  There is help, there is hope.
