Farewell to Woodburn Safe Haven North Coast!

On October 17, the Woodburn community came together to celebrate the final day of Woodburn Safe Haven, a gathering filled with gratitude and reflection. The space was a welcoming refuge, a place of compassion, understanding, and hope for those facing life’s challenges.

Our deepest thanks to the incredible staff, participants, and wider community for making Woodburn Safe Haven such a warm and vital part of the town. Though its doors have closed, its legacy of kindness, connection, and care will live on in the hearts of all who were part of it.
