Welcoming Our New Board President

The Barbell Saves Project is proud to introduce David Perez as our new Board President.

David’s connection to this organization goes far beyond the boardroom. His journey with Barbell Saves began as a member of our community and grew into volunteering, coaching, serving on our board, and now stepping into the role of Board President.

His story represents so much of what we believe in—that recovery can open the door to purpose, service, leadership, and an entirely new way of life.

David brings a deep passion for recovery, behavioral health, community involvement, and helping others find the same opportunities that were once given to him. As Board President, he will help lead our continued growth while keeping the mission and the people we serve at the center of everything we do.

Please join us in congratulating David James Perez on this next chapter of leadership.

The barbell saves—but the community behind it changes lives.

Happy Birthday to our Founder & CEO, Rob Best! 🎉
Today we get to celebrate the guy who started it all.
Fourteen years ago, Rob made the decision to get sober. That decision didn’t just change his life, it changed the lives of thousands of people who have walked through our doors since.
Happy Birthday, Rob. Thank you for your heart, your leadership, and for never giving up on the mission.
Help us wish Rob Best a very Happy Birthday in the comments! 🎂💙

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately, but for good reason. We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes.
Introducing the newest member of our team: Chef Chewy! 👨‍🍳
Chef Chewy is preparing balanced, nutritious meals for our recovery housing residents while also leading vocational culinary classes for our members. They’re learning practical life and job skills, from cooking and meal prepping to kitchen safety and food handling.
These are skills that extend far beyond the kitchen. They build confidence, independence, and create pathways to employment. We’ve already helped multiple members find jobs with partners like Biscuits Cafe - Arizona and we’re excited to continue creating opportunities like these.
A huge thank you to St. Mary's Food Bank for partnering with us and helping provide fresh, wholesome food for the individuals we serve. Your support makes this possible.
If you’re interested in partnering with our kitchen, or learning more about this program, send us a DM or email us at [email protected]. We’d love to connect.
