It’s with great sadness that our friend Sarge Pickman has passed today. For those of you that don’t know- the ED met him on a cruise ship and called him out of the Blue to be our first Comedian. He gave us a price to share his talents and Jana said “sadly, there is just no way” and hung up. Sarge called back and said, “If it weren’t for places like you, I wouldn’t be alive, pay me whatever you have once it is over and we can try harder next year.” Sarge was our first and second year comedian at our “ steps to recovery” comedy social and also volunteer to speak to our clients for free. He was tons of fun to be with and offered much more than just a laugh to our small nonprofit. He gave us years of wisdom and two unforgettable performances. One at the Meadows (which burned the other day) and one at Wilson High school.

Leaving you with Sarge’s words “My career is recovery- my job is something I get. Recovery is something I have. Thru
Prayer meditation affirmation
I'm not the person I used to be”.

Rest in Peace Brother!

Please help wherever you are able… as needs arise for specifics- we will update! We are not collecting actual clothes or furniture.

Community Request for Thanksgiving Apartment fire:

On Thanksgiving Day, there was a fire on N 1st Street in Bangor. The tenants are currently displaced from their rental units. Due to the quick response of the local fire departments, it is likely that three will be deemed habitable however most things are smoky and some are wet. While most are single occupancy, there was a family of 3 living in one.

A Clean Slate (118 S 1st Street Bangor) starting Monday is collecting gift cards (grocery, Amazon, and gas), rolls of quarters and detergent, (for laundry) to help offset the loss of items. Jana, the Executive Director, will be splitting the items dependent on the needs of the tenants.

If you can get out but want to support them, Venmo donations can be sent to -morrissarnowski with the info line “thanksgiving fire.” Any questions please PM me. I hope you have a peaceful and serene holiday season!

Recovery Revolution, Inc. honors and cares for many survivors on their healing journey.

To mark the beginning of LVAT (Lehigh Valley Anti-Trafficking Collaborative Week, our team and community members participated in the Red Sand Project — a global art initiative that raises awareness about human trafficking.

By pouring red sand into the cracks of our sidewalks, we honor those who have “fallen through the cracks” of society and bring attention to the hidden vulnerabilities that lead to exploitation.

Each grain of red sand represents a person whose story matters — a reminder that human trafficking happens close to home, and awareness is the first step toward change.

We are honored to be part of the fight!
