MISSION:
Our mission is to help where others leave off. Specifically, our mission is to support those graduating from a substance abuse treatment program or correctional facility. Our aim is to relieve poverty and to provide support for their on-going recovery as they establish their post treatment and abstinent life-style in the BC Lower Mainland region. To this end we are providing furnishings, clothing and some food. Also, we are seeking to open a facility where our clients can continue to learn coping and employment skills as they become responsible members of their communities.
VISION:
Our vision is to eventually open a recovery facility in the City of Surrey which will cover all aspects of Recovery. Our program will include recovery and healing for the whole family not just the individual. Following the residential component of the program, our clients would learn how to deal with their recovery issues while living and training or working in their own communities.
