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!
