Need help with an odd job? Hire one of our guys. 💙

Many arrive here with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They’re working hard to recover—and rebuild.

Hiring them for spot jobs (yard work, moving, cleaning) gives them a chance to earn a little, feel valued, give them hope and move forward.

I’ve seen how much it means. It transforms. You get help—they get hope.

🎉 Alumni Spotlight- Meet Matt Enlund

Forever Grateful to Kinnic Falls 💙

"In March 2021, I completed the program at Kinnic Falls—and it changed my life.

During my time there, I began healing and rebuilding relationships with my family during weekend passes. I started working again and slowly got back on my feet financially. After graduating, I transitioned into sober living, and though the beginning was tough, I learned from my mistakes and truly embraced recovery.

I became part of AA—not just someone who showed up, but someone who showed up for others. I started sponsoring guys, became a manager at the sober house I lived in, and even returned to Kinnic a few times to share my experience, strength, and hope with the men there.

Those moments helped me discover my purpose: helping others. I went back to school, completed college, and in December, I began working as a Substance Abuse Counselor.

None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support from the staff at Kinnic Falls. You believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. Thank you for helping me—and so many others—find recovery and purpose."

Recovery works! Matt was the 2nd to donate to Kinnic Falls for this year's Recovery Month (September). Thank you, Matt!
