Recovery House Residential 1 Year Anniversary

Title:  Men’s Low Intensity Residential 1 Year Anniversary (Recovery House)

This was our 2019-2020 Major Project where we raised $100,000.

November 20 - Update on Recovery House (speakers are Greg Winter, Executive Director, Whatcom Opportunity Council, Andrea Brooks, President and CEO, Lifeline Connections and Jennifer Logan, VP & Residential Coordinator).  Although they are in charge of the building, the actual on-site management of the program is by Lifeline, so it will be a joint presentation.  Greg is the liaison with Lifeline.
