The ARH Foundation for Healthier Communities is proud to announce our $5,000 donation to help kickstart a transformative partnership with Hope in the Mountains, a local organization located in Prestonsburg, KY that provides comprehensive addiction recovery services in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in ARH’s commitment to uplift and support individuals on their journey to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The ARH Foundation’s funding will play a critical role in assisting Hope in the Mountains with providing essential resources to their clients, including the purchase of things such as birth certificates, driver’s licenses, and social security cards, as well as clothing, shoes, hygiene products and other items.

In addition to this donation, the partnership will extend further, with the ARH Workforce Initiatives Team actively engaging in workforce development workshops tailored to empower Hope in the Mountains’ clients with essential skills. These workshops are designed to equip individuals completing their recovery programs with the tools they need to successfully reintegrate into the workforce, fostering independence and self-sufficiency.

“We are thrilled to stand alongside Hope in the Mountains in their mission to provide hope and a healing environment for people in recovery by treating each day as a promise of our future, not as a consequence of the past,” said Dylon Baker, System Director of Talent Acquisition at ARH “Our commitment to the well-being of our community is unwavering, and we believe this partnership will create a lasting impact, enabling individuals to regain control of their lives and build brighter futures.”

Hope in the Mountains shares in the excitement, expressing gratitude for ARH and the Foundation’s support. “It is comforting knowing that we will now be able to remove some of those barriers that our clients often face in their recovery journey which will help us ensure client success. We thank ARH tremendously for this generous gift and look forward to our continued partnership.” said Renee McCoy, Executive Director at Hope in the Mountains.

Together, they aim to provide resources, hope and opportunity to individuals in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky who are on the path to recovery.
