The John W. Clem Recovery House

Each year in November our residents do their give back project. This year they wanted to each adopt a family and provide that family with a complete Thanksgiving meal. With food insecurities and the struggles with SNAP, their timing couldn’t have been more perfect. These 9 meals were delivered by our residents to the families on Saturday. Thank you to our community partners who helped us in identifying 9 deserving families. Happy Holidays from our house to yours!
