🏆 That’s a Wrap! What a Night! 🏆

Our hearts (and stomachs) are full after an unforgettable Alumni event! We had an incredible turnout with over 60 people coming together at Centennial Park to celebrate recovery, family, and fellowship.

✨ The Power of Hope: A massive thank you to Desiree Armstrong for sharing her journey. Hearing about her 10 years of sobriety and the "light of hope" was the highlight of the night. Her story is a powerful reminder of why we stay connected and keep pushing forward.

🏈 Glow-in-the-Dark Kickball: Once the sun went down, the neon came out! It was awesome seeing everyone out on the field for some glow-in-the-dark kickball. Who knew recovery could look so bright?

🤝 Service in Action: A special shout-out to the men from The Mustard Seed and our other amazing Alumni who jumped in to help clean up. Seeing you all live out the principle of service by leaving the park better than we found it was truly inspiring.

✋Final Thanks: Thank you to Bakers Bros BBQ for the delicious food that kept us fueled all night and Jackson Parks and Recreation Department for allowing us to use the grounds!

🪑 LOST & FOUND: Did you head home a little lighter? Someone forgot their lawn chair at the park! If it belongs to you, please reach out to JACOA or stop by the office to pick it up. We’ve got it safe for you!

📷Share Your Photos: If you took any photos at the event, feel free to share them below!

Thank you all for making this community what it is. Stay tuned for our next event—we can't wait to see this crowd grow even more! 👊

No matter the weather, we are coming together to celebrate recovery, family, and the "light of hope" that Desiree speaks so passionately about. 🌟

🌱Spring is here, and so is new growth at JACOA 🌱

🌺We’re excited to kick off our 4-week Horticulture Program, designed specifically for our clients. This hands-on class focuses on growth, development, and nurturing—both in the garden and in life.🌺

With our expanded garden and greenhouse, clients will be planting and caring for tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, melons, squash, and more. This program offers more than just fresh produce—it provides purpose, responsibility, and a chance to reconnect with the healing power of nature.

🌿We’re proud to continue growing opportunities that support recovery from the ground up. 🌿

We were honored to welcome Samuel Bryant to Jackson Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency for a recent visit and tour of our facility.

Samuel brought thoughtful and engaging questions about drug and alcohol treatment, the role of county involvement, and what the future of treatment could look like in our community. It was encouraging to have such meaningful dialogue about the challenges we face and the opportunities ahead.

We appreciate his time, interest, and willingness to learn more about the work we do every day to serve individuals and families affected by substance use disorders. We look forward to continued conversations about how we can work together to strengthen recovery efforts in Madison County.
