EUGENE, Ore. - The Eugene Mission is participating in a nationwide event, "Conversations on a Bench," focusing on homelessness, addiction, and mental health.

According to the Eugene Mission, this event is hosted by rescue missions, recovery centers, and ministry outreach groups across the country. It includes a 24-hour live-stream sharing stories like the mission's R-3 program, which aims to help individuals improve their lives.

"I'm in a much better position now than I was 6 months ago," said Matthew Lynn, one of the event's attendees. "The mission and the R3 program has been incredible for me. With the classes we take and the life skills we have here. It helps us build a foundation to get back to where we are meant to be."
