Today we celebrate something truly extraordinary 💛
For over 30 years, Joy Williams has been the heart and soul of Willamette Family working across departments, shaping programs, mentoring staff, and changing countless lives along the way.
It all began with one powerful decision on April 16, 1976 the day she chose herself. That choice created a ripple effect that’s still changing lives today. Join us in celebrating Joy’s 50th Recovery Anniversary 🎉 #
A true force, a light, and a legacy. We love you, Joy.

Three caseworkers from Willamette Family’s Carlton House, two of whom used to be guests here years ago, toured the Eugene Mission yesterday.

They said the changes here are so significant that “everything” is different.

We switched to a sober, closed campus model almost six years ago. We changed our focus from meeting immediate needs (only to return people to the streets) to a model where we walk alongside guests and develop a plan to achieve long-term, sustainable recovery.

They particularly cited classes in the R3 Program that provide guests a path to a better future, such as our mental health and money-management classes.

We are so grateful for our social services partners and this team who came to learn more about what we do!

We are

Remember that teaser about something BIG happening on Friday that caused quite a shout? 👀

Well… the Oregon Duck showed up after hiding in the Senior Directors office of Residential service and brought Valentine's surprise. 🦆💚

We packed the afternoon with candy grams, photos, a 5-minute cookie decorating showdown (yes, it got competitive 🍪), and the Duck even picked the top 3 masterpieces.

Our Board & Executive Team received a Valentine too , and we wrapped it all up with “Shout” .
Safe to say… it was a quack-tastic Valentines day party filled with love for our families ❤️.

Love isn’t just something we give to others, it’s something we practice with ourselves every day.

Be sweet to yourself. Be patient with your growth. Be proud of how far you’ve come.

This Valentine’s Day, be your own box of chocolates. Full of surprises, strength, softness, and sweetness the world is lucky to experience.
