Today, we are proud to share that the Addiction Services Council has officially signed the Hamilton County Pay Equity Commitment, in partnership with the Hamilton County Commission on Women & Girls.

This commitment reflects our dedication to advancing fair and equitable pay practices and standing against gender- and race-based wage disparities in our community.

At ASC, we believe that recovery, opportunity, and dignity should extend beyond our programs and into every aspect of how we operate. Supporting pay equity is one more way we can help build a stronger, more just Hamilton County for all.

We are honored to stand alongside other organizations committed to this important work.

March came in like a lion and flew by just as fast—and wow, what a month for Together Tuesday Outreach.

With the incredible support of our community partners, we packed up and hit the streets all month long—distributing snack and resource packs, hygiene kits, and harm reduction supplies, while connecting with our neighbors in need. Rain didn’t stop us either—we were grateful to set up indoors at Our Daily Bread and continue the work.

A special thank you to Potter House Café and Hibachi Grill for keeping us going with breakfast burritos during one of our packing days—small acts like that make a big difference.

We also wrapped up the month with a meaningful field trip to New Horizons Recovery Centers, where they welcomed us, gave us a tour, and shared more about the work they’re doing in recovery.

This outreach is only possible because of the collaboration and dedication of so many:The Hopeline, Hamilton County Quick Response Team, Central Clinic, DeCoach Recovery Center, Center for Addiction Treatment, SUN Behavioral Health, Oxford House, SOAR Initiative, Skypoint Recovery, Arista Recovery, Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio, Woodlawn Recovery Center, KAV Healthgroup, Glenwood Behavioral Health, Resurge Recovery & Wellness Center, Equitas Health, UC Health and their Mobile Crisis Team, Potter House Recovery, Haven Behavioral Hospital, Hamilton County Public Health, Lumiere Healing Center, Ohio Community Health Recovery Center, White Light Behavioral Health, and Blueridge Vista Behavioral Hospital.

It truly takes a village—and we’re grateful for every single one of you. 💙

It may have been a rainy day, but that didn’t stop the heart behind Together Tuesday Outreach ☔💙

We’re so grateful to the many providers who showed up to serve inside the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library downtown branch. Thank you to the library for hosting us and for all you do to support and uplift our community every single day.

Libraries are more than books — they’re safe spaces, resource hubs, and pillars of connection. 📚 If you haven’t visited your local library lately, go check it out. You might be surprised by everything they offer!

Together, we make a difference — rain or shine.

☀️ Together Tuesday Outreach hit the streets of Bond Hill today! ☀️

We took advantage of our first real break from the bitter cold—honestly, it almost felt like a heat wave. While we didn’t see a large crowd, the connections we did make mattered. A few meaningful conversations, shared resources, and moments of humanity remind us that numbers don’t define impact.

Today was about showing up, being present, and standing together for our neighbors. And that’s exactly what we did—together. 💙

This Black History Month, Addiction Services Council honors the strength, resilience, and leadership of Black individuals and communities—past and present—who have shaped our history and continue to inspire progress.

We recognize the deep impact of systemic inequities on access to treatment, recovery resources, and health outcomes. As an organization committed to prevention, treatment, and recovery support, we reaffirm our responsibility to listen, learn, and advocate for equity in care.

We celebrate Black voices, Black recovery, Black joy, and Black excellence—not just this month, but every day. Together, we remain committed to building a future where everyone has access to compassion, dignity, and the support they deserve.

Despite today’s snow flurries and colder weather, the Together Tuesday Outreach Program still hit the streets. While foot traffic wasn’t heavy, we reached meaningful pockets of the community at places like Mary Magdalene House and Our Daily Bread, where many people were staying warm.

We’re grateful to Hamilton County Public Health for joining us today and helping us connect with those in need. It may have been cold outside, but our hearts were warm. Days like this remind us that our community knows it can consistently count on us — no matter the weather. ❤️

Today’s Together Tuesday Outreach with the Addiction Services Council looked a little different than planned—and exactly like it needed to. 💜

While we were originally scheduled to pack resource and snack packs, the need in the community called us out instead. We set up inside City Gospel Mission and were able to distribute snack/resource packs, hygiene kits, harm reduction supplies, hand warmers, and cold-weather essentials including scarves, gloves, hats, and socks—much needed on a cold day like today.

Founded in 1924, City Gospel Mission has been a cornerstone of our community for 100 years, providing food and shelter, recovery programs for men and women, job readiness and placement services, and so much more. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do and for welcoming us inside to serve together.

A huge thank you to the many provider partners who showed up and helped make today possible.
