We were glad to meet with the RISE Peer Recovery team yesterday, as they received the second grant installment to continue their important work in our community.
Earlier this year, UWDC invested $30,000 to support Peer Recovery Coaches and provide longer-term housing for individuals in recovery, helping clients build a strong foundation of stability. This second installment allows that work to continue and expand.
This is the power of having a local United Way working for you — bringing meaningful funding and support back into Daviess County through strong community partnerships.
