The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
The city is asking for the public’s help in donating food and pet supplies to its newly opened navigation center.
The shelter allows 75 homeless people at a time to get help with mental health and addiction as they prepare to move out directly into housing. Those staying at the facility, which is open round-the-clock, can receive treatment without having to worry about basic needs like eating, sleeping and showering.
Food items needed include pasta noodles, canned vegetables, soups, flour, oatmeal, pasta sauce, rice, granola bars and sugars, the city said in a Facebook post.
The center also needs pet supplies including dog and cat food, food and water bowls, leashes, harnesses of all sizes, toys, litter boxes, cat littler, treats, potty bags and cat scratchers.
The city asked that people contact 503-881-1695 or [email protected] for more information about accepted donations and drop-off locations.
Now, here are some of our latest reports. You can find more on our website.

Our digital obituary service is now available to anyone. It’s easy to use, more generous with space and photos than most, and priced to be affordable.
We have guidelines and an online form to use, but here are the basics:
*Obituary text has no limit (but no book-length submissions, please).
*Up to five photos can be loaded to share – not just one.
*Obituaries first appear in our obituary section, then in a summary of the week’s obituaries. That summary then appears on our Facebook and Twitter channels.
*The price is a flat $100.
