There’s something special about gathering around good food and even better company.

Our women’s residential house hosted a BBQ with residents, alumni, and staff—and it was more than just a meal. It was laughter, shared stories, reconnection, and support all in one space.

Moments like these are a powerful reminder that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community. Building connections, strengthening relationships, and creating a sense of belonging are all essential parts of the journey.

We’re so grateful for the women who continue to show up for themselves and each other. This is what recovery looks like—real, supportive, and full of hope.

We have an immediate clothing need for the women at our Residential House.

As some of our residents transition back into the community, many are starting over with very little. As they begin to regain their health, even basic essentials like properly fitting clothes become a challenge—and we’d love to come alongside them with support.

If you’re doing a closet clean-out or have gently used summer clothing, your donations can truly make a difference.

Current needs:
• Large & XL tank tops
• 2X & 3X shirts
• 3X summer dresses
• XL T-shirts & shirts
• Size 14–16 shorts & pants
• Size 12 shorts
• Size 28 pants
• Size 18 pants
• 4X dresses

Every item helps restore dignity, confidence, and hope. Thank you for supporting women as they rebuild their lives. 💛
