Dear Friends of Roque Center,
The Holiday season is a wonderful time of the year. It is a time when we gather with our families and friends to enjoy the familiar traditions and reflect on our blessings. But for those who are fighting addiction, it is a time that leaves them especially vulnerable. Sometimes they feel that that they are on the “outside looking in” as they spend every minute of every day trying to resist the temptations that threaten to undermine their efforts to stay “clean.” It takes a great deal of courage – and support – as they struggle to walk the path of recovery.
The Roque Center is a private, non-profit organization devoted to helping people with alcohol and drug addiction in Orange County. The Center was founded in 1972 by individuals who had successfully achieved recovery and wanted to reach out to others who were still in its grip. Since then, we have helped more than 34,000 clients receive quality care and treatment using a State-licensed and certified residential, social model recovery program.
You may have a family member or know of someone who is suffering from addiction. This disease does not just damage the person afflicted, it touches the lives of every member of his or her family and the community as a whole. A healthy family and thriving community depends on healthy and thriving individuals.
In this season of giving, we hope that you will consider making a donation to The Roque Center. We are grateful for any gift, no matter what size. It can be a one-time donation or an ongoing monthly one. Since we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your gift is tax deductible. 100% of your gift will go directly to the Build the Roque Center Fund.
Please help us continue the level of care that we currently offer to our clients. Life is too precious to be wasted. Help us help them take charge of their lives so that they can return to their families and communities and become the wonderful person they were meant to be.
With deep gratitude,
Art Amidon
