Strength·Hope·Change
Our Mission
We exist to bring hope, healing, and practical help to people impacted by addiction, violence, and despair, and to walk with them from darkness into light.
The Faith Over Fear Foundation is an Oregon nonprofit built on a simple conviction: no one should have to face their darkest moment alone. Our mission is to bring education, resources, and genuine human connection to the crises quietly devastating our community: drug addiction, alcoholism, gang violence, suicide, and homelessness.
We do it through a three-day community event across Jackson County filled with music, powerful stories, and real support: meals, showers, medical care, counseling, and pathways to recovery for anyone who needs them.
Recovery starts with faith in yourself and hope for tomorrow. Our job is to help people find both.
The Need in Jackson County
Jackson County, Oregon is in desperate need of intervention. The numbers are sobering, and they’re why we can’t wait.
Figures compiled from local reporting and county health data (KTVL and Jackson County sources, 2018-2023). Some totals are the most recent available and may lag due to toxicology reporting.
The Main Event
A full day of fun, music, and education in each community, bringing awareness and in-depth attention to the issues that touch every family in the valley.
What We Offer at Every Event
A hot meal prepared by some of Jackson County’s finest chefs: dignity on a plate.
Clean-up stations, haircuts, and clothing provided in partnership with Goodwill.
Care from Asante doctors and nurses, plus Oregon Health Plan enrollment help on-site.
On-site counseling and connection to local recovery programs and services.
All faith groups welcome: support and prayer for anyone seeking guidance and peace.
Keynote speakers, featured bands, guest speakers, and local musicians all day long.
Our Fifth Focus
Our goal is to help individuals experiencing homelessness regain confidence and feel prepared to reconnect with their community.
We begin with personal presentation and a fresh look, while also providing access to medical checkups, health resources, and other support services. For those seeking faith or spiritual guidance, our events also bring together religious groups and organizations that are ready to welcome and support them.
By connecting people with care, resources, and a renewed sense of confidence, we hope to help create a path toward stability, opportunity, and a fresh start.
A Day at Faith Over Fear
A full day of music, stories, and support. Specific performers and speakers are being confirmed and will be announced here as they’re locked in.
A second stage puts the spotlight on the issues we’re fighting, and on our youth. Winners of our school talent contest earn a spot to play all three days.
The contest helps us reach into local high schools and middle schools, opening the door to educate students on our mission where it matters most.
