First Recovery

People often see Brandi and Matt as the faces of this ministry, but the truth is it takes a village. Since our existence, Linda Bowen has played a huge role in advising and planning—from helping us with ministry budgets to serving as the lead person and mastermind of our recent successful endowment fundraiser. Linda's contributions and leadership have been imperative to our operations. As you move on to this next chapter, we thank you for all the lives you have impacted through your wisdom, natural gifts and hard work. We ❤️ you!

Starting Thursday(Nov 6), every Thursday, we’ll be giving away Large pizza and Knots for families affected by SNAP cuts. This will continue as long as we can, until benefits return.
* Show SNAP card + matching ID
* Limit Large Pizza and regular knots per family
* Walk-in only
We’re a small business, and costs are crazy right now, but our community has always supported us, and this is one way we can support right back. Let’s take care of each other. 🍕
