Shatter the Stigma

Friends, it's that time again - Giving Tuesday 2022!

There are a host of awesome nonprofits doing fabulous things for so many. We are proud to be part of this huge support network across the US.

Will you join us supporting the many women and men walking the path of healing and hope with Substance Use Disorders? Through James' Place Inc. we're touched by those we've come to know, those we are able to help.

And, we will do more thanks to you for joining in for this year's event. At James' Place, our focus remains on insuring safe recovery housing from which to heal as well as providing counseling for youth on the cusp of hope.

Thank you for caring for those working hard in the face of this disease.

In gratitude,
Barbara & Tom Allen
In memory of Jim, Bill, Tom, Amanda
