🌷 Spring is Here — Let’s Finish Strong! 🌷

The first day of spring is all about new beginnings — something we celebrate every day at SCADD. 💙

Tomorrow is the last day of our fundraising initiative with Tox Brewing Company, and we are so grateful for the incredible support from our community.

There’s still time to stop by, enjoy one of the featured craft sodas or coffee drinks, and give back — with $1 from each purchase supporting recovery and second chances.

Thank you for helping us make this initiative so meaningful. Let’s make the final day count! 💙
