Two months ago, we hired Michael Householder, our Recovery Program Director. He joins Rick Dalton, the kitchen manager, and me with our lean staff. Michael brings a wealth of experience in the chemical dependency field. He has worked in both “for-profit” and nonprofit substance abuse treatment facilities for the last 13 years. He has also worked in the state prison system as a counselor. He is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and will be responsible for our state-of-the-art holistic recovery program at Soul’s Harbor.

Welcome, Michael!

Harvest what you Sow…

This month, our resident, Dennis, prepared the land, planted the seeds, and tended the vegetable plants. Dennis planted green onions, tomatoes, okra, zucchini squash, and yellow squash. Besides saving on our produce bill, it provides a therapeutic form of recovery. We cannot wait for the harvest season. Thank you, Dennis, for your green thumb.

We need your help…
