TCN Partners with Local Farmers to Support Residential Recovery Program
Did you know that client's in TCN's Residential Recovery programs eat meals prepared using locally grown vegetables and the freshest cuts of beef from local farmers? Nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery. Substance use can impact metabolism, organ function, and mental well-being, hindering the body's ability to absorb, digest, and utilize nutrients effectively. This often results in vitamin deficiencies and overall poor nutrition. Providing fresh healthy meals is just one way TCN supports our clients!

TCN's Annual School Supply Giveaway Days
Each year, TCN spends the summer months collecting school supplies and donations for the children in our communities. In past years we have been able to provide supplies to over 300 children. These supplies prepare the students for a successful year and support the teachers in the classrooms. Once supplies are collected TCN hosts distribution events to get supplies into the hands of the students who need them. This year’s distribution events will be a celebration of students and teachers. We will be providing pizza, beverages, ice cream, and fun entertainment. Some locations may also offer back to school haircuts based upon the availability of our volunteers.
We need your help! TCN could not do this without the support of our donors and volunteers. Please consider supporting the 2023 TCN Annual School Supply Drive. Below are details on different ways you can be a part of this life-changing initiative.
