With a mission of helping and advocating for parents of addicted loved ones, as well as individuals who have experienced or are experiencing addiction, the Putnam County Recovery Coalition will hold an open house for the community Thursday, Jan. 11.
The festivities will begin at 5 p.m. at PCRC, located at 620 Tennessee St., Suite 4, Greencastle, and features a ribbon cutting ceremony, as well as words from special guest Douglas Huntsinger, who is the Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement and Chairman of the Indiana Commission to Combat Substance Use Disorder.
There will also be food from The Whisk, as well as a 360 photo booth by Poppin Photography and door prizes.
"We have a fun way to learn about some of resources by doing a scavenger hunt and prizes will be given away for that as well," Sheila Holloway, PCRC executive director, told The Putnam County Post.
Holloway said there will also be peer coaches available to talk with and answer questions, as well as Parents of Addicted Loved Ones facilitators as well.
"We welcome the community to come out and celebrate with us. We are blessed to have this office and look forward to working with the community more to provide support and awareness. Our office is close to the park, where a lot of homeless and people struggling with addiction hang out, not to mention lots of events happen there, so we hope to be more involved. We have lots of space for a price we can afford and we have other community help around us," Holloway said.
