Gabriel's Challenge Community Coalition| Advancing A "No Wrong Door" Recovery System

Gabriel’s Challenge Community Coalition convenes partners across healthcare, education, behavioral health, justice, tribal communities, business, neighborhood associations, and faith based organizations. We center community voice, especially youth and young adults, and focus on system solutions that strengthen coordination and advance a No Wrong Door recovery approach. We do not provide services. We bring together leaders who shape community pathways and support collaboration grounded in lived experience.

36 days IN Community From Mother's day - Father's DAy

What Is Gabriel's Challenge?

Gabriel’s Challenge is a 36 day movement from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day that calls us to suspend judgement and treat each other like family. We shut it down and show up. We turn off distractions, limit screen time, and connect with our families and community members in meaningful face to face activities each day through service, support, and education. Faith based communities, tribes, public officials, law enforcement, schools, and local organizations join with purposeful presence and compassion. Together, we show up for our neighbors and for those impacted by addiction, homelessness, and disconnection.

Community Education and Empowerment Center
Located on the second floor near the former Sears entrance, this is our welcoming third space aligned with the Washington Thriving framework. It is a place where providers and community partners host learning, engagement, and empowerment activities for young adults and the broader community. It reflects Gabriel Fensler’s vision of having information and connection in one place.


Community Care Kiosk
Also on the second floor, this stand alone, self service information center stacked with Narcan and prevention tools like lock boxes for medication, and provider information that helps people explore what exists in their area and choose their own path forward. It is not a service site. It does not screen, enroll, or refer. It is a tool that shows the doors that exist and normalizes seeking support.
