💙 We are incredibly grateful to SOS Baked Goods for their generous support of Friends of Recovery Association! Your heartfelt post and donation mean so much to us and the recovery community we serve. 🙏✨

At Friends of Recovery Association, our mission is to empower individuals and families to heal from the impact of addiction through peer-led support, education, and advocacy. Your donation directly helps us:

🌟 Provide safe, peer-run recovery housing
🌟 Offer free community-based recovery support services
🌟 Host educational workshops and wellness events
🌟 Train peer recovery advocates to walk alongside individuals in early recovery

Every dollar brings hope, healing, and new beginnings to those working hard to rebuild their lives. 💪🌱

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us build a stronger recovery community.

Together, we’re showing the world that recovery is not only possible, it’s powerful. 💛

I’m feeling so grateful this afternoon. 💛🖤
Because of all of you, we were able to raise $358 today for addiction and recovery resources here in Kansas.

This cause is so close to my heart, and every time you support, donate, or even share what we’re doing, it reminds me how powerful community really is. None of this would be possible without you, and I can’t thank you enough for helping bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

Today's donation went to FORA! https://www.friendsofrecovery.com/about

This Giving Tuesday, join Friends of Recovery Association (FORA) in making a profound impact on the lives of individuals seeking recovery from addiction. FORA is launching a special campaign to raise funds to help
individuals in recovery gain access to Oxford Houses—self-supporting, democratically-operated homes for “the addict or alcoholic who wants to get clean and stay clean.”

Individuals released from treatment centers and/or incarnation often face financial barriers that prevent them from securing a place in these vital recovery communities. FORA and Kansas Oxford Houses will use these funds to
provide support to individuals to cover initial costs of a move-in fee(average $200) and at least one week of Equal Expense Shared (EES) of approximately $150.

Reaching our goal of $100,000 would help approximately 250 individuals get acceptance into Oxford House, offering them the chance to transition from the isolation of addiction to a supportive, caring community. Your generous contributions will directly support those in need, providing the necessary resources to attain and sustain recovery from substance addiction.

On Giving Tuesday, let’s unite to help anyone in recovery who is seeking a place to heal and grow. Your support can make a world of difference!
