THE CAUSE

How Your Registration Makes a Difference

The Healing Place is where hope is found. We provide food, shelter, clothing, and recovery services at no cost to the client. All a person has to have is a desire to get sober. We opened February 1, 2023 and have helped thousands of people withdraw from drugs and alcohol through our long-term residential recovery program. Every dollar raised by THPNC impacts a person either struggling with homelessness or active addiction.
