“The organization has been around for more than 60 years,” Justin said. “It was started by a Pastor in Pennsylvania who saw the need for this. It began with teenagers, but has transformed into centers for men and women.” “We are the induction center,” Sarah said. “We get these men straight from jail, or the street, or whatever trouble they’ve gotten themselves into. We have them here for about 20 weeks. Once they’ve completed this stage of the program, they move to Memphis for their next stage of recovery. We deal with adult males 18 and up.”

Justin, a program graduate, and Sarah moved here from Memphis to start the local 14-bed facility. There are currently 10 men in the program. The Memphis facility can house 60.

“At tonight’s inaugural fundraiser, we have 18 tables of 8,” Sarah said. “The men in white shirts, serving dinner, are members of the program. We are thrilled with tonight’s show of support from the community.”
