Help 100 Las Vegas residents in recovery — Hope Harbor and Together We Give emergency response

About 100 Southern Nevada residents who had just started substance-use treatment have had their care disrupted. Hope Harbor of Las Vegas and Together We Give are now mobilizing an emergency community response in Las Vegas so those neighbors have a bed, clean clothes and a meal waiting when they arrive for continued care.

The need is immediate. For a community that knows the power of bayanihan, this is a moment when every family, church group and association can carry a piece of the load.

What Happened: Treatment Disrupted for About 100 Southern Nevada Residents

According to a news release issued September 22, 2026, most of the affected patients had only just begun treatment. Hope Harbor, a BHCEN-certified outpatient and co-occurring disorder treatment center on West Sahara Avenue, is preparing to receive them so their recovery is not interrupted.

Together We Give, a Las Vegas 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is coordinating the public response. Its job is to equip the receiving space with beds, bedding, clothing, hygiene supplies, food, appliances and other essentials before people arrive.

UPDATE, September 23: The first donation is in: 1 of 3 refrigerators has been received. Beds, mattresses and bedding are now the most urgent need. See the live donation tracker →

How Fil-Am Organizations and Families Can Help

Organize a collection at your association or parish

Provincial associations, parish ministries and civic groups can each “adopt” one line on the list, such as hygiene kits, towels or new socks and underwear. Then coordinate one drop-off.

Offer a truck, a driver or a set of hands

Pickup, delivery and bunk-bed assembly are on the list too. If your group has a van, a truck or a few volunteers with tools, that help is needed now.

Business owners: donate stock or sponsor a category

Restaurants, markets and retailers can help with bottled water, food, kitchen supplies or clothing. Financial and in-kind support information is available through Together We Give.
