“Rally - to unite the people and resources of the miami valley to : - eliminate the stigma associated with addiction and mental health disorders. We had over 3,000 people attending our 11th annual 2024 rally. - educate about addiction and mental health disorders. There were 75 booths staffed from local addiction treatment resources at our 2024 rally. - celebrate and show that recovery is possible and that it works. We had a "recovery countdown" that celebrated individuals that had over 30 years of recovery down to individuals that had as little as 1 day of recovery. It was truly a celebration of all who had taken that step. Our rally is annualy the largest one of its kind in the state of ohio.”

“Community support - with our programs such as birthday blessings, for love of god, our newly established kinship fund and other miscellaneous outreach programs we have been able to offer support in varying ways and to many local individuals, families and organizations that need emergency funds for things such as daycare, rent, utilities, transportation, food, etc. In 2024 we had many opportunities to provide funds that ultimately made a huge difference in the receipients' lives.”
