Mission Statement: Our mission is to provide resources to the recovering community. To help people achieve their goals and dreams and to guide them to the paths that lead them to those achievements. It is in our heart also to provide a safe and serene place to fellowship, learn and grow. What do we do? We want to help people through the difficult, time consuming and sometimes confusing processes i
n order to get them to where they want to be. We DO NOT want to hand people a packet of papers with phone numbers and send them on their way. We want to do the footwork to make it easier to get things done. We have streamlined the processes for our clients. We have possibly cut the time it would normally take them to complete a task in half. Most resources and/or start of any process require an application of sorts. With that some of the processes require obtaining and submitting verification of additional information. Sometimes once the process is complete there may need to be follow up. We can do all of that. We started with a project that we call mom’s attic. For this program we accept donations of household items that someone moving from a transitional home into their own place can use to furnish their home. This can be anything from an entertainment center to a refrigerator. For the veterans we are teamed up with Redding Veterans Resource Center which is linked to Veterans Resource Centers of America. Together we can help with food, shelter, and any medical or financial services that they may need. We have teamed up with Shasta County Social Services in order to help our clients apply for county services. We are also equipped to assist with obtaining services from EDD, SSI, other emergency services even connections to prescription drug assistance programs. US Bank has partnered with us to help our clients open a checking account and in some cases give our clients a second chance with a checking account.

DMV is a staple in most of our lives yet not many want to spend their day there to find out they don’t have all the information needed to complete their transaction. We can assist in getting the necessary forms and help with processes such as buying or selling a vehicle to a private party, to something as simple as a change of address. We have numerous people on our team to help with house calls such as childcare, yard work, plumbing, construction, house sitting or even massage therapy. These are S.C.ooT.’s supported companies meaning they are people who started off much like our clients and have turned their life around. Services are offered at a discounted rate and a percentage goes back to the center. Our helpline is available 24/7 to help provide numbers to recovery or crisis hotlines, access to any of the services we provide and to make appointments for house calls. The reunification process can be long, drawn out and emotional for all involved. We have team members who have already been through it and have put together support groups to help our clients get through it as well. Your credit is a huge part of your identity.

We will be able to allow our clients, who are new graduates of our local cosmetology schools, to come and set up shop in our saloon for a minimal fee or trade in services so they can build a clientele. We have all done things that we have regretted and in some cases this would include a tattoo that at some point represented who we were.
