St. Simons United Methodist Church Women’s Circle recently donated much‑needed pantry items to our food bank, and we are deeply grateful for their support.

What may seem small to some is incredibly meaningful to us. Their donation of coffee and paper products impacts us significantly. Acts like this help us keep our pantry stocked and ensure families in our community have access to essential items. We are so grateful these women used their time and resources to support our work.

Many people assume they need hours of free time or big checks to support a small nonprofit like ours, but the truth is that small contributions often make the biggest difference. A few dollars, some jars of seasonings for the pantry, gently used items for our thrift store, an hour spent helping tidy the office, or inviting us to speak at your organization — these simple actions add up. They allow us to stay focused on the work of recovery while knowing our community is standing with us.

**Our 2025 Annual Report is officially live, and we’re excited to share everything this past year held for New Roots Glynn.**

2025 was a year of momentum and meaningful impact. We supported individuals entering treatment, transitioning into recovery residences, and taking their first steps toward long‑term recovery. We expanded support groups, opened a food pantry, strengthened partnerships across Glynn County, and continued offering one‑on‑one peer support to anyone looking for a safe, judgment‑free place to talk through their next steps. Every connection, every conversation, and every milestone reminded us why this work matters and why peer‑led support is so essential in our community.

Here’s a look at what your support made possible last year:

• 2,613 people served
• 90 peer support sessions
• New support groups added, including cancer support and eating‑disorder support
• Food pantry launched, supported by a $5,000 donation from Rich Foods and the Davis Love Foundation
• Continued Narcan distribution and harm‑reduction education, including stocking the Narcan box at the local homeless day shelter
• Partnerships strengthened with For Good. For Glynn., Brunswick Housing Authority, Veterans Village, NAMI, and Worksource Coastal Georgia
• Board expanded from five to eight members
• Awarded a two‑year Opioid Abatement Trust grant to launch the transportation component of the S.E.T. Initiative

Cruising for Causes Sponsor Spotlight: The P‑Man Foundation
"One More Good Day."

New Roots Glynn is honored to introduce The P‑Man Foundation as our event sponsor. Their support strengthens the work we do every day to help individuals and families build stability, connection, and long‑term recovery.

The P‑Man Foundation was created to honor the life of Patrick Hall, who died from substance use disorder in 2015. In the final years of his life, Patrick dedicated himself to raising awareness about substance use disorder, sharing knowledge about overdose prevention, and encouraging everyone around him to choose health whenever possible. He often described sobriety as stringing together one more good day after another, and that simple, powerful idea continues to guide the foundation’s mission.

Today, The P‑Man Foundation ensures Patrick’s vision lives on by helping people in recovery find community, purpose, and joy in sober activities. Their microgrants fund practical, meaningful opportunities for individuals to participate in sober social events and experiences that support connection and hope. Every grant they award creates another chance for someone to have one more good day.

We are grateful for their generous sponsorship and for the work they do to uplift individuals and families affected by substance use disorder. Their partnership reflects a shared belief in dignity, healing, and the power of community.

Join us at the St. Simons Lighthouse on Thursday April 9, 6-9 PM for music, food, raffles, and the chance to win a cruise!

It means a great deal when a local business recognizes the work we’re doing in the community — and even more when they choose to support that work directly.

We are grateful to South Coast Bank for their generous donation of $2,000, which will help us strengthen future fundraising efforts and continue expanding the services our community relies on. Their support reinforces the shared belief that recovery, stability, and hope are worth investing in.

Thank you South Coast Bank!

Women’s History Month is a reminder that addiction and recovery don’t look the same for everyone. And for women, especially mothers, the journey often comes with unique challenges and strengths.

Women develop substance use disorders at similar rates to men, but the path there — and the path back — can look very different. Research shows that women often progress from first use to dependence more quickly, experience stronger cravings, and are more vulnerable to relapse during periods of stress or hormonal change. Many also carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, or depression, which shapes both substance use and recovery needs.

But the biggest differences aren’t just biological, they’re social.

Women face barriers that men often don’t: lack of childcare, fear of losing custody, financial instability, and stigma tied to motherhood. Many women want help long before they feel safe enough to ask for it. And yet, motherhood is also one of the strongest motivators for seeking recovery. The desire to show up for their children becomes a powerful source of hope.

Moms in recovery often describe living in two worlds at once: wanting to protect their children while fighting an illness that thrives in silence and shame. That’s why family‑centered, trauma‑informed, community‑based support matters so much. When women heal, families heal. When mothers recover, generations change.

This month, we honor the women who are walking this path, the mothers who are rebuilding their lives, and the leaders who have pushed the recovery movement forward, often without recognition.

Their strength is shaping a future where every woman has access to dignity, compassion, and a real chance at long‑term recovery.

New Roots Glynn & Georgia Council for Recovery Support SB 526!

Georgia Senate Bill 526 has been introduced, proposing statewide licensing and regulation standards for recovery residences in Georgia. This bill would establish minimum operational requirements, create a licensing process, outline inspection and compliance expectations, and set clear procedures for addressing unlicensed facilities. It is currently assigned to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.

The Georgia Council for Recovery has announced its support for SB526, noting that consistent standards for recovery residences can strengthen safety, improve accountability, and support families impacted by substance use disorder. As a Recovery Community Organization, we share the belief that strong, well‑supported recovery housing is essential for long‑term stability and community health.

We encourage our community to learn more about SB526 and to reach out to their state representatives and senators to share their perspectives. Your voice helps ensure that legislation affecting recovery housing reflects the needs, experiences, and realities of the people it is meant to serve.

Staying informed and engaged is one of the most meaningful ways we can advocate for a stronger recovery ecosystem in Georgia.

March is Women’s History Month, and it’s a good time to remember that women have been shaping the recovery movement long before most people realized it.

One of the earliest voices was Marty Mann, one of the first women in AA to find long‑term recovery. She went on to start the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and pushed the country to see addiction as a health issue, not a moral failure.

Women also helped build the family‑recovery movement, peer‑support spaces, and so many of the trauma‑informed practices we use today. A lot of the compassion and connection that define modern recovery came from women who insisted that people deserve dignity and a place to belong.

New Roots Glynn carries that legacy forward through the leadership of Executive Director Heather Woodard and Peer Support Specialist Falyn Brandon. Many of the partnerships they’ve formed here in Glynn County are with other women who step in, work together, and truly care about the people we serve.

We’re grateful for the women who paved the way, and for the women in our community who continue to lead, support, and show what resilience really looks like.

“I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival.” – Audre Lorde

In recovery, self‑care isn’t selfish, it’s part of the work. What are you doing today to take care of yourself, even in small ways?

A quiet moment, a healthy meal, a meeting, a walk, a boundary, a deep breath… it all counts. Staying connected to your needs is how you stay grounded on the journey. Take some time to take care of you!

We'd love to hear about it. Share one thing you’re doing today to care for yourself. Your story might encourage someone else who needs the reminder.
