Progress isn’t just about getting someone off the street — it’s about helping them get to a place where they can move forward.

Mark’s story is a great example of that.

He’s working at Pizza Hut, maintaining his job, and now living much closer to work. That move has already opened the door for additional hours at another Pizza Hut location — and he’s looking ahead to even better employment opportunities.

This is why Recovery Services Director Danny Cox and Director of Employment Programming Kisha Hunter are so vital to the work at RAM House.

Recovery is an important first step. But helping someone become stable enough to work, keep a job, build confidence, and pursue better opportunities is part of lasting change.

We’re proud of Mark and the progress he’s making.

Compassion. Community. Change.

10 people. 10 new opportunities. And we’re just getting started.

We’re grateful to be recognized at the Roanoke Regional Chamber’s 2026 Small Business Celebration & Awards Ceremony, and thankful to the Roanoke Regional Chamber for its continued support of our community.

At RAM House, the work is far from finished — and we still need your support.

As we move forward at the Jain Care Center, the need for meals, emergency assistance, recovery services, employment support, and daily care continues.
We need donors and supporters to help us keep serving our community.
