Volunteers Elona Dellabough-Gormley (left) and Leslie Corless load a bag with over 7,000 syringes as they prepare for a shift at the Portland People's Outreach Project in Portland. This mobile program serves the drug-using community, offering harm reduction and meeting people where they are--emotionally, physically and geographically. Dellabough-Gormley is a registered nurse who extends her commitment to lessen suffering, by volunteering twice a week at area needle exchange programs. (OHSU/Kristyna Wentz-Graff)
