​GREEN WOOD COALITION​
uses a radically inclusive, community model of caring to 
walk alongside people living with  poverty,  mental or
physical illness, drug dependency, or disability
in Northumberland County. 
By focusing on what's strong, not what's wrong, we work for
positive change that leaves no one behind.



​Green Wood Coalition is supported by ​our generous individual donors,
as well as Cameco Corporation and the Municipality of Port Hope.

The Perfect Storm

10/23/2019

For 12 years, David Sheffield, Green Wood Coalition’s Community Director, has spent time with people who walk the dangerous line of drug dependency to cope with physical and emotional pain. David describes the “perfect storm” that’s now killing people in our community in an op-ed inspired by the recent Opioid Roundtable in Cobourg.

“Over-prescribing of opioids, shifts in the economy, stigmatization and lack of treatment options for mental health and dependency, along with increasing unaffordability of housing all contribute to daily desperation for many,” he writes.

If you care about the crisis facing our community, click here to read about the “four pillar approach” David says can help. 

[Thanks to Northumberland United Way for their support for Green Wood's addiction recovery outreach and Redpath program.]

Thanks to Foragers Farms for their local food support.

 This package (valued at $750) includes appetizers, paella feast, dessert, wine and flowers— everything but your friends! Around the Table Paella Party to be delivered before November 30, 2019, within 50 km of Port Hope, ON.
