Dear Savannah Faith Leaders, you are receiving this e-newsletter because we have designed it for you. This is our fourth edition.
We are the non-profit Interfaith Addiction and Recovery Coalition, founded in January, 2019.
Our purpose is to provide education and support for faith leaders on the subject of addiction and recovery. Faith leaders have told us they feel ill-equipped to help when congregation members- or their loved ones- struggle wirth addiction. Our aim is to prepare you to offer the help your faith community needs with educational forums, one-on-one consultation, a list of local resources and this e-newsletter.
