Overview

Mission

To form, organize, operate and maintain a community based, supervised, and oriented program to assist women suffering from addiction and promoting their return to a productive and useful role in society.

What it reported doing in 2025

Maintained 6 half-way group homes, housing 39 transitional residents at a time to transition those desiring to be free of their addiction back into a drug-free environment as a functional member of society with a job that can support themselves and their families. Educate and raise public awareness of the addiction problem of alcohol, methamphetamines and other drugs through the use of open meetings, tv/radio/print media, presentations to civic clubs involvement and job creation with local business and industry. Interviewed and evaluated the spouse and children of half-way home residents for physical, emotional, financial and educational needs. Provided what assistance we could and referred to local service organizations for additional assistance as needed.

Operating model

Revenue model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
