OHA (Oregon Health Authority) leadership reached out to PeerGalaxy leadership who reached out Oregon peer run organizations for quick thought partnership, input and coordination on addressing peer support and other needs for people affected by the wildfires. In great collaboration, resources were quickly identified and shared through social media, the PeerGalaxy Calendar, food box flyers, and more.
