When the PCN Wellness Wagon was stolen, the community came
together to solve the problem. A 2003 – 31 foot motor
home was made available by Gates Home Furnishings, with the
challenge to the community to make an investment in the purchase,
equipment and remodel.
The Grants Pass Courier gave generous publicity and editorial
support. Zonta, the Four Way Foundation and a private individual
each made significant contributions, which were all matched
by a contribution from Gates Home Furnishings to the purchase
the motor home, and to remodel install the equipment. Logan
design created the signage, the Music Shop donated the security
system, Lipperts donated the vinyl, AMR will perform routine
maintenance, and Lovejoy Hospice and Siskiyou Community Health
Center each donated significant staff time to complete the
project.
A new website has been created with the support of Rotary
that will host a community calendar so scheduling can be done
and also, citizens can check when the WOW will be in their
community.
