🎨 Join us for Art Day: Painting! 🎨

Painting is the practice of applying color to a surface—such as canvas, paper, wood, or walls—to create images, express ideas, and convey emotion. It’s a beautiful way to relax, be creative, and connect with others.

Come spend time with us, explore your creativity, and enjoy a supportive community space. No experience needed—just bring yourself!

📅 Date: June 17, 2026
⏰ Time: 1:30–2:30 PM

We hope to see you there!

🎤✨ Help Us Amplify Voices of Recovery ✨🎤

After two successful Voices of Strength events, we are reaching out to our community for your support.

Voices of Strength is more than an open mic—it's a space where people in recovery can share their stories, music, poetry, and creative expression in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. Each event creates opportunities for connection, encouragement, and hope while building a stronger recovery community.

Your donations will help provide food for our events and assist in purchasing the equipment needed to livestream future events. This will allow us to reach members of our recovery community who are unable to attend in person and help us accommodate growing interest when our venue space is limited.

No donation is too small or too large. Every contribution helps us continue creating a place where stories matter, voices are heard, and strength is shared.

💙 Thank you for supporting recovery, connection, and hope. Together, we can ensure that every voice has a place to be heard—whether in the room or online.

Today we celebrated Peggy’s retirement, and what a beautiful and meaningful moment it was.
Peggy has been with us since 2017 as our HR and Operations Director, and her impact is truly woven into who we are today as an organization. She helped us grow, strengthen our foundation, and become the organization we are now.
Her dedication, wisdom, hard work, and steady presence have made such a difference over the years. Peggy, thank you for everything you have given, built, supported, and cared for. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will continue to be part of us.
Wishing you so much joy, rest, adventure, and peace in this next chapter. Congratulations on your retirement, Peggy! 💐
