Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

Alyssa Daye Gardens Groundbreaking: 31 Homes for Families in Recovery
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
The Peer Company broke ground on Alyssa Daye Gardens, 31 units of Permanent Supportive Housing for families in recovery in Southeast Portland. The new homes sit next door to The Peer Company Recovery Campus, where residents can choose peer-delivered services and wraparound support.
The Peer Company, formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, is an inclusive, peer-run nonprofit that supports recovery and wellness through lived experience.
Alyssa Daye Gardens Groundbreaking Ceremony
Elected officials, funders, partners, staff, and supporters gathered Tuesday afternoon to mark the start of construction. Emily Nelson, Director of The Peer Company’s Oregon Peer Training & Innovation Center and Alyssa’s sister, spoke for the family and remembered Alyssa as someone with a huge heart who made room for everyone and wanted people to know they belonged.
Guests included Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards, Metro Councilor Duncan Hwang, representatives of U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, and Roberto Franco, Deputy Director of Oregon Housing and Community Services. Janie Gullickson, Executive Director of The Peer Company, shared that families deserve a stable home and a community that believes in their future, and that Alyssa Daye Gardens brings those two things together.
Alyssa Daye Gardens is named in loving memory of Alyssa Daye, daughter of Executive Director Janie Gullickson, who loved children and believed deeply in family and connection. In her honor, the site will include pink flowering trees, her favorite color, that will bloom each February, the month of her birthday.
The project is designed to keep families together. Too often, families facing houselessness and seeking support must separate to reach recovery services and housing. Alyssa Daye Gardens offers a different path, joining stable, long-term housing with voluntary, peer-delivered services and wraparound support at the peer community center next door, which completes the vision for the Recovery Campus. Permanent supportive housing is a nationally recognized, evidence-based model shown to reduce chronic homelessness, and the support comes from people with lived experience who understand the journey.

This month’s novel is Questlove’s Music Is History.
Music Is History combines Questlove’s deep musical expertise with his curiosity about history, examining America over the past fifty years.
Focusing on the years 1971 to the present, Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American tapes- try, whether investigating how the blaxploitation era reshaped Black identity or considering the way disco took an assembly-line approach to Black genius. And these critical inquiries are complemented by his own memories as a music fan, and the way his appetite for pop culture taught him about America.
A history of the last half-century and an intimate conversation with one of music’s most influential and original voices, Music Is History is a singular look at contemporary America.

The Peer Company, formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, is an inclusive, peer-run nonprofit that supports recovery and wellness through lived experience.
Alyssa Daye Gardens Groundbreaking Ceremony
Elected officials, funders, partners, staff, and supporters gathered Tuesday afternoon to mark the start of construction. Emily Nelson, Director of The Peer Company’s Oregon Peer Training & Innovation Center and Alyssa’s sister, spoke for the family and remembered Alyssa as someone with a huge heart who made room for everyone and wanted people to know they belonged.
Guests included Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards, Metro Councilor Duncan Hwang, representatives of U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, and Roberto Franco, Deputy Director of Oregon Housing and Community Services. Janie Gullickson, Executive Director of The Peer Company, shared that families deserve a stable home and a community that believes in their future, and that Alyssa Daye Gardens brings those two things together.
Alyssa Daye Gardens is named in loving memory of Alyssa Daye, daughter of Executive Director Janie Gullickson, who loved children and believed deeply in family and connection. In her honor, the site will include pink flowering trees, her favorite color, that will bloom each February, the month of her birthday.
The project is designed to keep families together. Too often, families facing houselessness and seeking support must separate to reach recovery services and housing. Alyssa Daye Gardens offers a different path, joining stable, long-term housing with voluntary, peer-delivered services and wraparound support at the peer community center next door, which completes the vision for the Recovery Campus. Permanent supportive housing is a nationally recognized, evidence-based model shown to reduce chronic homelessness, and the support comes from people with lived experience who understand the journey.

Tue, February 21, 2023, 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM PST
This month’s novel is Questlove’s Music Is History.
Music Is History combines Questlove’s deep musical expertise with his curiosity about history, examining America over the past fifty years.
Focusing on the years 1971 to the present, Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American tapes- try, whether investigating how the blaxploitation era reshaped Black identity or considering the way disco took an assembly-line approach to Black genius. And these critical inquiries are complemented by his own memories as a music fan, and the way his appetite for pop culture taught him about America.
A history of the last half-century and an intimate conversation with one of music’s most influential and original voices, Music Is History is a singular look at contemporary America.
When you register, you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

Alyssa Daye Gardens Groundbreaking: 31 Homes for Families in Recovery
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
The Peer Company broke ground on Alyssa Daye Gardens, 31 units of Permanent Supportive Housing for families in recovery in Southeast Portland. The new homes sit next door to The Peer Company Recovery Campus, where residents can choose peer-delivered services and wraparound support.
The Peer Company, formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, is an inclusive, peer-run nonprofit that supports recovery and wellness through lived experience.
Alyssa Daye Gardens Groundbreaking Ceremony
Elected officials, funders, partners, staff, and supporters gathered Tuesday afternoon to mark the start of construction. Emily Nelson, Director of The Peer Company’s Oregon Peer Training & Innovation Center and Alyssa’s sister, spoke for the family and remembered Alyssa as someone with a huge heart who made room for everyone and wanted people to know they belonged.
Guests included Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards, Metro Councilor Duncan Hwang, representatives of U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, and Roberto Franco, Deputy Director of Oregon Housing and Community Services. Janie Gullickson, Executive Director of The Peer Company, shared that families deserve a stable home and a community that believes in their future, and that Alyssa Daye Gardens brings those two things together.
Alyssa Daye Gardens is named in loving memory of Alyssa Daye, daughter of Executive Director Janie Gullickson, who loved children and believed deeply in family and connection. In her honor, the site will include pink flowering trees, her favorite color, that will bloom each February, the month of her birthday.
The project is designed to keep families together. Too often, families facing houselessness and seeking support must separate to reach recovery services and housing. Alyssa Daye Gardens offers a different path, joining stable, long-term housing with voluntary, peer-delivered services and wraparound support at the peer community center next door, which completes the vision for the Recovery Campus. Permanent supportive housing is a nationally recognized, evidence-based model shown to reduce chronic homelessness, and the support comes from people with lived experience who understand the journey.
