We were honored to represent the recovery community at the Mountain View Correctional Center Resource Fair this week.

Fresh Start Sober Living is committed to supporting individuals who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives — and it was a privilege to connect with those who are taking early steps toward recovery, even in challenging circumstances.

We’re thankful to Mountain View Correctional Center for hosting this event and recognizing the importance of offering hope, resources, and real opportunities for a new beginning.

Recovery is possible — and everyone deserves the chance at a fresh start. 💙
