Thank you to Jenny Fann & The Gurus, Realtors for raising money for the Discovery Place scholarship fund! We always enjoy participating in the Joey 5k!

Joey Run Update!! đź’śđź’ś

Because of this community, we were able to give back in a meaningful way this year through The Joey Run.

$8,000 donated to Discovery Place
Funding one full scholarship for someone seeking recovery.

$2,000 donated to Sheep to Shepherd
Supporting sober living and a place for continued transformation and growth.

That is not just money.
That is lives being rebuilt.
That is hope being restored.

One person gets a second chance… and the ripple effect of that reaches families, futures, and generations.

Thank you to every person who showed up, gave, ran, and supported.

This is why we do it!

See you there next year! Discovery Place

Two of the most important things in keeping Discovery Place going for nearly three decades: Volunteers and Robbie Mills.

Alumni volunteers Chris M., Wayne T., Jay P. (not pictured), Huck P. and Finn M. helped Robbie install a new storm door on the front of the Founders House this afternoon. Behind Robbie’s gruff exterior lies a heart of service. He has served the men (and dogs) of Discovery Place for over 27 years and shows no signs of slowing down!
