We are looking for support for our current fundraising initiatives. he Mid-Coast Recovery Coalition owns two recovery residences now, one for men in Rockland (called the “Friends House”) and the other in Camden for women in recovery and their children (due to open this summer). We are committed to accommodating as many people who would benefit from safe and supportive housing as we can.
Currently, we are allowed only 4 men in our men’s house due to the stairs not meeting fire code. Once we fix the stairs, we would be allowed to accommodate 16 men. It is estimated that the cost of renovations will be $100,000. We feel we can generate income that will cover half that cost so need to raise another $50,000 to help another dozen men by the end of this summer.
The new stair tower, named in memory and in honor of Ryan Gamage, a man in recovery who wanted to build the tower but who died of a drug overdose himself in January, will have about 50 stairs. We would like 50 individuals or groups of individuals to each buy one step in the stair tower for $1000 each and to have a plaque with the names of the donors on those steps to recognize the contributions. Please ask friends and family to join with you to raise $1000 so you can pay for one of the 50 steps.
Are you great at connecting with donors in the community?Are you a donor yourself? We would love to talk with you and for your support in helping us accomplish these goals.
