🚗 8,010 rides to work.

That’s an average of 154 rides every week — or 31 every workday.
Reliable transportation can be the difference between getting a job and being able to keep one.

That’s why transportation is one of the most critical supports United Recovery Fund provides to the people we serve.
Sometimes removing one barrier can open the door to an entirely new future. 💙

☀️ Our 4th Annual United Recovery Fund Picnic at beautiful Fort Williams Park was one for the books! Families, friends, volunteers, and supporters came together for an afternoon filled with laughter, delicious food, meaningful conversations, and plenty of fun.

A huge thank you to The Episcopal Church of Saint Mary, Falmouth, ME for sponsoring this year's picnic and treating everyone to an amazing meal. 🍔🌭🍉 Your generosity helped create a day where everyone felt welcomed, connected, and celebrated. ❤️

At United Recovery Fund, we know recovery isn't just about the journey—it's about the people who walk alongside you. Days like these remind us how powerful community, fellowship, and a little fun can be. 💙

Thanks to everyone who came out to make memories with us—we can't wait to do it again next year! 🙌

Last week, our Program Manager, Barry, had the privilege of attending Governor Janet Mills 8th Annual Opioid Response Summit in Bangor, themed "Building Hope, Honoring Progress, Inspiring Change." 💜

The summit brought together more than 1,000 advocates, healthcare professionals, policymakers, law enforcement, and people with lived experience to share ideas, strengthen partnerships, and continue the fight against substance use disorder.🤝

There was encouraging news to celebrate: Maine has seen overdose deaths decline for the fourth consecutive year, with fatalities down nearly 9% in the first half of 2026 compared to last year. 📉 While this progress is worth celebrating, the message was clear—we must continue investing in prevention, treatment, recovery support, housing, workforce opportunities, and harm reduction. ❤️

As Governor Mills shared:
"The relationships you are building here and in communities across Maine... save lives."
We are grateful to stand alongside so many passionate individuals and organizations committed to creating hope, supporting recovery, and ensuring every person has the opportunity to heal and thrive. Together, we keep moving forward. 💙
