Our local business partners are a part of bringing food to the hungry and treatment to those seeking recovery. You often see these problems up close, both in and out of the workplace. Did you know that,

In fact, drug abuse and addiction in the workplace costs American companies $81 billion every year! (National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics)
- Over 26% of employed adults have substance abuse or addiction in their family. Over 42% of these employees felt their productivity suffer as a result. (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2018 report)
