A huge THANK YOU to Penquis- Helping Today Building Tomorrow for helping us provide turkeys for our amazing volunteers and for individuals and families in need this holiday season. 🦃❤️

Your generosity makes a real difference and helps us support the people who give so much of themselves, as well as members of our community who could use a little extra warmth this time of year.

We are truly grateful for your partnership and continued support! 🙏✨

🦃🧡 Join us at The BARN this Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃

We’ll be open from noon on Wednesday through noon on Thursday for 24 hours of recovery meetings, connection, and community.

At 2 PM on Thanksgiving Day, we’ll also be serving a warm holiday meal for anyone who wants to join us. No one has to spend the holiday alone — you’re welcome here. 💛

If you or someone you know could use support, fellowship, or simply a place to belong this holiday season, The BARN doors are open. 🧡

Kindness has the power to heal, connect, and strengthen our recovery community.

Today, let’s take a moment to share a smile, lend a hand, or offer words of encouragement — you never know how much it might mean to someone.

Every small act of kindness makes a big difference. Let’s continue spreading compassion — today and every day. 💫

A city council win, a reopening of our Ohio St location, and a potluck to kick it all off! Thank you to all our supporters, volunteers, staff, and program recipients that made this all possible without you we’d be nowhere.
