All are welcome to the All Addictions Big Book Step Study Group.

The terms all addiction and practicing and studying the steps as they are laid out in the Big Book is what differentiates this from the Sunday night Alanon meeting. Join us.

Volunteer in the garden!

Help us provide fresh produce to local food pantries. Garden knowledge is not necessary, training is provided, and learn by doing. Enjoy being outside in fellowship with others to work in the garden as physical abilities allow. We work in the garden primarily on Tuesday mornings especially once produce is ready to pick to align with the pantry hours. However, as weather impacts our plans, we schedule other days and times to keep up with activities. Communications are through regular emails and texts to keep everyone current with weather impacts. We avoid working in the heat, cold, rain, or mud.  Attend as you are able.
