CrossFit for a
Healthier Outlook…
We are always improving our program at Soul’s Harbor. Last month, we added CrossFit to our holistic approach to recovery. A Big Thank You to Ron Campbell and his team for providing twice a month Cross Fit classes at Soul’s Harbor. Our guys love the class and get to “blow off steam” by doing various exercises. You can learn more about our holistic approach to substance abuse recovery, go to The Harbor Program.
A Decade at Soul’s Harbor…
10 Years ago, I started my career at Soul’s Harbor. I have been blessed with so many volunteers and the great guys that have come through the doors of Soul’s Harbor. In fact, I have seen 1,214 men since I was hired in 2009. Our program at Soul’s Harbor has dramatically changed for the better. 8 Years ago, we started modeling our recovery program after expensive treatment centers using a holistic approach. I want to thank God for bringing all the pieces together and molding our program as one of the best in the nation. I would like to thank my Assistant Director, Reggie Finch who arrived on the scene 9 years ago. Reggie (pictured above) came to Soul’s Harbor as another homeless man but within weeks separated himself as a leader. Reggie has been my right-hand man ever since. Because of our program success, we have a long waiting list of potential residents that are eager to enter our doors. I also want to thank our board-of-directors which has the visionary outlook to address our growth potential. As I said in my first week on the job, “this is the best job I could ever imagine”. It still holds true today. Thank you God for allowing me to serve you and the men at Soul’s Harbor.
