Donations of Personal Care Items Collected for Shevlin Foundation
AGCS and AT&T accepted donations of personal care items to create Help & Hope Bags that will be given to the The Peggie and Paul Shevlin Family Foundation, who spread hope by distributing the bags to individuals in early addiction recovery.
The Foundation fulfills their mission by:
- Providing short term recovery house scholarships (for houses we believe provide a safe, sober, and structured environment for those we serve) and other needs like food, transportation, legal advocacy , sober support and encouragement etc. to persons who don't have resources to meet these needs
- Helping addicted persons and their families access and navigate treatment options
- Building and nurturing sober communities for persons affected by addiction
- Developing and delivering programs aimed at addiction awareness and prevention
- Collaborating with social services, treatment centers, recovery houses, foundations and other public charities that support and encourage individuals in recovery and those that love them.
