My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been attending their retreats for women affected by the family disease of alcoholism for several years now and have never been so taken by the group of women I meet and the organization that sustains these retreats. Started almost 50 years ago, they offer two large retreats a year at a hotel in Nags Head, NC and bring in retreat directors who focus on some aspect of recovery and personal growth to overcome the negative aspects of living with alcoholism in the family. In addition, they have a house in the Outer Banks that sleeps up to 12 people where members can hold mini-retreats that are more focused and personal. I have been to 3 or 4 of these as well, and am so amazed at the personal growth and loving support I have experienced here.

The organization offers scholarships to those who cannot afford to attend the retreats at the hotel, and the house itself has suffered damage from hurricanes over the last few years that insurance has not covered. Donations to either help repair aspects of the house and property or to fund additional scholarships for women in recovery will be put to good use!
