In Howard City, Michigan, Sandra Cooper, the creator of the addiction-related nonprofit Redemption Farms, is hosting a free sober community Thanksgiving event for individuals and families who would like to share a meal and celebrate gratitude, particularly those in recovery.
Cooper says, “I know food is really a struggle for some families right now . . . I just hope that people can join around a table and have a good meal with friendly faces and be able to keep their dignity.”
The event is designed not only to support guests through the sometimes challenging holiday season but also to connect them to a thriving sober community that will offer support, encouragement and connection all year round. For many, these connections can be the key to long-term sobriety.
