This week, Rea of Hope was honored to be invited as a special guest to city hall for Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin’s State of the City address. Mayor Goodwin highlighted Rea of Hope’s work in the city as recipients of the City of Charleston, WV Opioid Abatement Funds (administered by United Way of Central WV), to continue building community connections, removing barriers to success, and providing access to transportation for residents to things such as: job interviews, medical appointments, therapy, self-help meetings, and more. The funds will assist us in continuing to support family reunification, long-term recovery efforts and so much more! Executive Director, Haley Walker was in attendance representing Rea of Hope, along with phase 1 & phase 2 graduate and resident Beth Ann P. who recently celebrated one year of continuous abstinent sobriety! Thank you, Madam Mayor, for your faithful support of our program!
