"I was ramping up with these failures. I made a list of them; the list was very long. I decided to get rid of that list and start listing positive things. I don’t want to live there.” Read Jack's story: https://lght.ly/kgp6jm6

"March 1, 2013: two pink lines appeared on a pregnancy test. Every substance that had ever carried me suddenly felt small." Read Shannon's beautiful story of hope and addiction wellness: https://lght.ly/9b3gcm5

We are deeply grateful for every person in our incredible community. TOGETHER, we can make sure no one is ever turned away from help.

This year brought staffing transitions, funding gaps and a rising need for addiction care. Even so, our small but mighty team has continued to meet the needs of our members with determination and heart.

The spirit behind our name has never been clearer. We are always better when we face challenges TOGETHER.

We’re looking for 49 individuals to make a gift before 2026, one for every week our social good program has been stretched beyond capacity. Please be part of the solution here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/mv6kbj/

"I am not here as a success story wrapped in a bow. I am here as living proof that broken crayons still color, that discarded seeds still sprout, and that a woman once defined by syringes and sidewalks can now be defined by passports stamped, bills paid, and a little girl who calls her mom."

We couldn’t have had this year’s Face It in the Fire without a ~head~ start from Jamie Boley and Mayborn Acres! Thank you for the secret ingredient: chicken heads, necks, hearts and feet. They were not choices for the faint ~hearted,~ but it sure was a blast 🔥🐔

Congratulations to Nefu Mageo, 605IslandGuy, who wowed the crowd and won not only Best Decor, but also People’s Choice at this year’s Face It in the Fire! Nefu’s award-winning dish, tropical shrimp tacos, included shrimp, coconut pineapple slaw, mango pico de gallo and sweet chili aioli sauce.

We’re still in awe and already counting down the days until next year’s celebration. Mark your calendars for Thursday, Nov. 5! You won’t want to miss what’s coming next! 🎉

We can't thank Chef Omar enough for stepping into the live battle and bringing his absolute best! The results this year were so close. We’re so grateful that he shares his talent, energy and addiction wellness wherever he goes. Stay tuned; we’ll be sharing photos of his beautiful live battle dish soon!
