Spring 2023 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

We are excited to share our latest newsletter full of gratitude for everyone who made the holiday season meaningful and special for the residents of Georgia’s House. We hope the pictures convey how much joy we all felt from the gifts, decorations, food, workshops, and a beautiful newly decorated sun room.

Georgia’s Friends had so much to be grateful for in 2022. Our donors and volunteers continued to support our residents and staff in many ways. When we say we could not fulfill our mission without all of you, we mean it literally. One of the ways we are fulfilling our mission is our new Angel Program, created this past year.

We are also grateful to have hired two new staff members who perfectly complement our team. They have brought new ideas and a passion for helping. Our Board continues to provide thoughtful leadership and stewardship along with responding to the needs of staff and residents. We ended the year full of appreciation for everyone involved in our Walk A Mile annual event. Please read on to learn more.

As we look forward to 2023 and continuing to support women in their journeys of recovery, we hope you will join us in whatever ways you find meaningful. Please contact Ashley Fowler, our operations manager, at 434.284.7817 or reach out to her by email at ashley@georgiasfriendscville.org to discuss volunteer opportunities.

As many of you know, the recovery journey has its share of ups and downs. A woman’s first few weeks of sobriety and the period when our alumnae transition to independent living are particularly challenging. It means so much to have a safe and caring community coming along with them.

In gratitude,

Charlotte Chapman, Vice President
On behalf of the Board of Directors
