This year we didn’t ask for prize donations. We bought all of our prizes as a way to say thank you to the businesses that have been our event sponsors in the past. We appreciate what they have done for us and we wanted to return the favor. Together, we can get through this!

More from "What 518 means to me..."
12-16-2019
"Three members of my family spend or have spent considerable time at 518 West Seneca St. We are members of Al-anon, AA, and NA. Our teen-aged son's problems with addiction first brought me to Al-anon meetings at 518. Later, my son and husband both attended meetings at the building for their recovery from drugs and alcohol. Meetings at 518 have made a huge impact on the well-being of our family. When addiction impacts a family, it is often necessary to rebuild social networks from the ground up, as it was for us. I am very grateful to Ithaca Community Recovery for providing a place for that to happen."
