💛 Wrapped in warmth and community love!

A heartfelt thank you to the Pilot Club, Beverly McKinney, and Sandra Everhart for bringing 30 beautiful throw blankets to Out Of The Ashes! Each blanket is a gift of comfort and a reminder to someone facing a difficult season that their community cares. ❤️

Ministry takes love, time, and resources and it costs to keep the doors open and serve people every day. Out Of The Ashes receives no county, state, or federal financial support. This work continues because individuals, churches, businesses, and community groups choose to help. It truly takes a village and we are grateful to be able to provide the vital services we do. Its only through the Love of the and the support through our community that we can keep our doors open.

The world is a stage, and everyone has a part to play! " William Shakespeare "

Would you consider giving a one time donation, becoming a monthly supporter, or donating needed supplies? Every gift helps us provide shelter, hope, and support for people rebuilding their lives. Message us to get involved, and please share this post!

Beverly, Sandra, and the Pilot Club, thank you for helping us break the chains of addiction and homelessness, one person at a time. To God be the glory! 🙏

How many people believe Rutherford County should have its own medically staffed crisis center?

Our county needs a facility that can provide:

• Medical detox services
• Mental-health and behavioral-health treatment
• Psychiatric crisis intervention
• Short-term stabilization
• Around-the-clock care from trained medical professionals
• Connections to long-term treatment and recovery services

Our residents should not have to be transported outside Rutherford County to receive this level of care. With opioid-settlement funds and other county, state, federal, and government resources available, we should be working together to build a system capable of meeting our community’s needs right here at home.

People sometimes become upset when shelters or other community organizations must decline someone who is experiencing a serious mental-health crisis, active withdrawal, or complex medical needs. Please understand: declining someone does not mean we believe that person is undeserving of help. It means they require a higher level of professional care than a shelter is licensed, staffed, equipped, or insured to provide.

Accepting someone without the proper medical staff, training, medication management, security, and clinical resources could place that individual, other residents, employees, volunteers, and the entire organization at risk. That responsibility and liability must be placed with a professional facility specifically designed to provide this type of care.

Every person deserves somewhere safe to turn during a crisis. Law enforcement officers, hospitals, shelters, families, and churches should not be left trying to fill a gap that requires specialized medical and behavioral-health professionals.

Rutherford County should be able to meet Rutherford County’s needs. It is time for community leaders, healthcare providers, government officials, recovery organizations, and concerned citizens to come together and develop a medically staffed detox, behavioral-health crisis, and stabilization center in our county.

What do you think? Would you support bringing this desperately needed resource to Rutherford County?

So many other decisions being made without this vital need being met for decades! Enough is enough of overlooking this vital need!
