Happy Healthy Kids Day at Douglas C.A.R.E.S.
April 29, 2022


April 28th was a day we celebrated Happy Healthy Kids with the community of Roseburg. We had just over 110 kiddos come visit all of our vendors! It was a wonderful and crazy day. Douglas CARES had 3 games with prizes, goody bags, pinwheels, balloons, and snack bags for all. Our bubble machine was a hit! Many of our kiddos attending came because of the thousands of bubbles seen from Harvard Ave. and the

DHS building.


Community members joined with us to make this event one to remember. Cougar Ridge came out with their horses, donkey, carriage rides, and ponies. Umpqua Valley Ambulance, Douglas County Sheriff Department, Winston Police Department, and K-9 units Eros and Zorro came out to see everyone. Family Development Center and Every Child Douglas County provided face painting. Adapt brought out books.Games and prizes were hosted by National Guard, ESD, and Umpqua Valley Rainbow Collective. Wildlife Safari brought some really cool artifacts.Advantage Dental offered free screenings and goody bags to the kids.WaiLani Shave Ice whipped up amazing treats. Miss Douglas County and other title holders ran our game booths. We even had Princess Anna, Queen Elsa, and Spiderman drop by on behalf of Occasionally Yours.


Every single child left with prizes and a smile! Even our teens were seen riding around in the horse cart with WaiLani Shave Ice and huge smiles. Thank you to everyone, including our event organizer, Amanda, for making this event such an incredible success!

At Douglas CARES, we're excited to announce that we’ll soon be moving to a brand-new building designed just for us, thanks to the generosity of local developer Guy Kennerly. His commitment to helping our cause has been truly remarkable, and we're eager to begin this new chapter. Starting in early December, you can find us at our new address: 1939 NE Diamond Lake Blvd, Roseburg. This move marks a significant milestone for Douglas CARES as we continue our mission to protect children and uplift families. The new space will provide the dedicated environment needed to support our work in child advocacy, but we need your help to make it feel like home. Why This Move Matters The work we do at Douglas CARES is crucial for the safety and well-being of children in our community. As part of the Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) network, we coordinate investigations and treatment for child abuse cases using a multidisciplinary team approach. This system ensures children only have to tell their story once in a safe environment, reducing trauma and facilitating quicker access to services. The new building will allow us to continue offering these essential services more efficiently and with greater capacity. With dedicated spaces for forensic interviews, therapy, and medical exams, the move will enhance our ability to support child victims and their families during difficult times. Seeking Sponsorships: Your Support Can Make a Difference Moving into a new space comes with many challenges, especially when it comes to outfitting the building with the necessary furniture and equipment to continue our services seamlessly. We are currently seeking sponsorships for furniture and moving costs. Every dollar raised will go directly toward creating a welcoming, child-friendly space where we can continue to provide trauma-informed care to those who need it most. Your support will ensure that Douglas CARES can continue to be a place where children feel safe, families find hope, and offenders are held accountable. Whether you’re a business or an individual, your contribution will have a lasting impact on the community. How You Can Help If you’d like to contribute to our move or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please visit our donation page. We are counting on the generosity of the community to help us create a space that reflects the importance of our mission and provides the best possible environment for children and families in crisis. Together, we can make a difference. Contact our business today to learn more about how you can get involved in supporting our new home and the essential services we provide.
