📣 BREAKING CHAINS. BUILDING FUTURES. ROOTED IN FAITH.

We are blessed to welcome Rescue 180 of Jefferson City, Tennessee, to Revival for Recovery 2026!

Rescue 180 is far more than an organization handing out resources, it is a frontline force in prevention, intervention, recovery, reentry, family support, and community restoration. What began with founder Rev. Debra Shultz serving in jail ministry in 1998 grew into what is now Jefferson County’s Substance Abuse Coalition, serving individuals, children, families, and entire communities impacted by substance misuse.

Their work reaches people at nearly every point of the recovery journey. Rescue 180 provides prevention education in schools, churches, and the community; Narcan distribution and training; peer and spiritual support; crisis assistance; detox and treatment placement; transitional housing connections; mental-health resources; recovery support; legal-aid resources; employment assistance; and inmate reentry services. They also work alongside law enforcement, first responders, government leaders, schools, and community organizations to reduce overdose, recidivism, and stigma.

And their mission reaches the next generation. Through programs addressing drug-endangered children, advocacy, prevention education, and family crisis support, Rescue 180 is fighting not only for people already caught in addiction, but also for children and families who deserve the opportunity to build a different future.

This is what faith and recovery working together looks like.

It is people willing to enter the jail.
It is people answering the crisis call.
It is putting Narcan into the hands that may save a life.
It is helping someone get into treatment.
It is standing beside families who don’t know where to turn.
It is helping someone leaving incarceration build again.
And it is continuing to believe that no life is beyond redemption and no story has to end where addiction tried to leave it.

❤️‍🔥We are BLESSED to partner with Rescue 180 and honored to have them joining us as a featured vendor at Revival for Recovery.

Come meet their team, learn about their resources, and connect with people who have been standing in the gap for Jefferson County for decades.
