🎄 A Fresh Start Holiday Wish: Help Us Keep Things Spinning! 🧺

​Hello wonderful community members! As the holiday season sparkles around us, we at Fresh Start Sober Living are reaching out with a heartfelt request, wrapped in the spirit of giving.

​This time of year is all about renewed hope and making a Fresh Start—a mission we strive for every single day with the men and women in our program.
​Right now, we are in desperate need of a little holiday magic for our homes: Washers and Dryers are at the top of the list.
​A working washer and dryer are essential tools for our residents. They represent dignity, independence, and the ability to focus fully on their recovery journey without the added stress of basic needs. Our current machines are well past their prime and are causing constant issues.

​🙏 Could You Be Our Holiday Angel?
​If you are upgrading your laundry equipment, or if your business has commercial appliances ready for donation, please consider giving the gift of clean clothes this Christmas season!
​We are looking for working, reliable washers and dryers (standard or heavy-duty/commercial are both welcome!).
​Donations are tax-deductible and incredibly impactful.

​This holiday, you can provide more than just a machine; you can give the gift of stability and confidence to men building new, sober lives.
​If you are able to help, or if you know a business that might be able to donate, please contact us!

​Call: Jason Gammon (207)816-0030
Email: jason.gammon@freshstartrecovery-maine.org
📍 Drop-off/Pick-up options available

​From all of us at Fresh Start Sober Living, we wish you a healthy, happy, and peaceful holiday season. Thank you for wrapping our community in your generosity!

Huge thanks to Lighthouse Church for their incredible generosity! 🙏 They donated Thanksgiving meal boxes to all of our sober houses. Acts of kindness and support like this are what truly make our community thrive. We are so grateful!

Fresh Start has 48 members who were receiving SNAP benefits up until now. With nothing available for November, they need help. We are looking for gift cards to Hanaford or Shaws to help. You can donate to Fresh Start Sober Living at our website and we will buy gift cards or you can buy them and drop them off at 100 Center Street.
Please share this.
Thank you!

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. 💙
