Mahoning Recovery Support

OhioCAN Mahoning County has some exciting news to share for 2021. As of February 1st, 2021, we received a generous donation of space that we are utilizing as a donation center for our women and men in recovery. We have reached out to the community through social media to let them know we are accepting donations of new and gently used women, men and children’s clothing, coats, shoes, etc. We are also taking on donations of basic household items such as dishes, silverware, pots, pans, small kitchen appliances, bedding, bath towels, sweepers and small pieces of furniture. Also, with our new space, we have been able to accept and expand donations of new, personal, hygiene items for our YouCAN2 Blessing Bags.
Our goal is to support women and men entering a recovery home. We can provide them with a generous amount of hygiene items and assist with clothing if the need arises. We also support them in their recovery when they are ready to leave sober living and set up their own home. We then offer the donated household items free of charge.
Another exciting 2021 update to take note of: OhioCAN Mahoning County was proud to become a partner with Project MKC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Youngstown, dedicated to serving the most vulnerable children in Northeast Ohio. Their mission is to make the lives of children and their families a little brighter by focusing on their individual needs with the help of volunteers. Their programs provide daily essentials and positive emotional experiences to children and their families by boosting confidence and lifting spirits. Through our partnership, we receive things such as diapers, wipes, formula etc. to distribute to our clients and families. We were also grateful to be able to participate in their Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program and several of our clients, parents in recovery, received generous donations of Christmas gifts for their children and food for their families. Project MKC is funded exclusively by donations, and 100% of donations go directly to their programming. To find out more about Project MKC or to make a donation, visit their website at www.projectmkc.org or like them on Facebook @Project MKC! Our latest fundraiser that took place from March 6th to April 24th put on by Pur Yoga LLC and Empower Yoga of Youngstown, Ohio. Their teachers in-training and class participants raised $959.00, as well as donating a large amount of personal hygiene products and clothing for OhioCAN Mahoning County. We are so grateful for their generosity.

Christmas in Recovery

As Hope states, "This is for those in recovery with children at home giving them an opportunity to receive a small paycheck for the huge job they do 24/7, 365 days a year to maintain their recovery." Donations are collected from the community which cares deeply about them, understands their struggles and acknowledges their hard work, wanting to help support them. It is more than about giving gifts to children at Christmas. Hope accompanies each person to the stores, giving them their allotted "paycheck" and they each do their shopping for their child(ren), budgeting the amount and paying for it at the cash register. They are truly touched by the kindness and generousity expressing how much it means to them to have their hard work acknowledged and considering this opportuity as earned, not given. It brings a real sense of relief and most importantly pride because they are able to provide for their children. It puts positive choice and power in their hands. It's about healing families and rebuilding relationships expressing how much it means to them to have their hard work acknowledged and considering thisChristmas in Recovery.
