As a mother of a daughter in recovery I have made Tuesday nights at "Into The Neighborhood", a commitment to being a part of what I call a weekly Community/Bible Study/Recovery/Dinner meeting where everyone is welcome and love and compassion is displayed without judgement. Although the meetings are weekly, the commitment to those in recovery is 24/7. This organization goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone involved gets a fair chance at living a life of joy and abundance. I look forward to our weekly meetings!
