Life Skills Center Dedicated

February 22, 2010

February 20, 2010, marked a joyous occasion as many supporters of Moravian Open Door, including staff, Board of Directors, clients, volunteers, and representatives of cooperating agencies joined in a formal dedication of the Life Skills Center. It was announced that as part of the Life Skills program, grant funds from the IGH Foundation and the Guardian Life Insurance Company will make possible a breakfast program for clients in the near future.

In Their Own Words

Maureen says...

I have struggled with addiction for at least 47 years. I’m 57 now. There is not a bridge that I haven’t burnt with my blood family. I have one friend who has been in my life for almost 20 years and since coming to MOD, I now have a family. I know I am safe and secure living here. Not all days are good for me but the staff always makes time for me and for this I am truly grateful. I thank my support system here and I thank you all for helping me to stay clean and sober and allowing me to be able to feel safe at night.
