The Recovery Resource Center hosts fundraiser at Dove Pointe

SALISBURY, Md – The Recovery Resource Center hosted a breakfast fundraiser at Dove Pointe, to reach their financial goals for the fiscal year.

The Resource Center’s mission is to be a lifeline to recovery from addictions, and Wes Davis, a recovering alcoholic was at the event, played piano and shared his story. He said he gives all the credit to RRC for turning his life around.

“It saved my life, I wouldn’t be here, and I certainly wouldn’t be feeling as good as I am about life.  I’m grateful and feel like I got a new chance because I’m recovering.”

The RRC has been a pivotal force in helping the lives of those in recovery, all across the Salisbury community, and at the fundraiser, they raised 30,000 dollars. Executive Director of the RRC, Lisa Campbell, says this new money will help them continue the organization’s success.

“We operate on a very tiny budget, we would like to expand that budget so that we can expand what we offer to the community, and help more people find recovery, achieve recovery, and maintain recovery.”

Officials from Salisbury University, and Hudson Behavioral Health, among others all attended the breakfast, and RRC board chair Dr. Patricia Riley remains gracious for the continued support RRC receives. “Individuals, agencies, and community partners that make pledges for three years, we couldn’t function without them. So, for that we’re appreciative.”

She encourages people struggling with addiction to stop by the RRC. She remains hopeful, that the Resource Center will continue to shape the lives of those in need, in the Salisbury community. “There is hope and when there is one person, who can reach their sobriety, it impacts them, their families, the generations of their families.” Said, Riley.
