Join BWROC Partners In Recovery To Help Change Lives In The Community

The Blue Water Recovery & Outreach Center (BWROC) is asking for the community to help join in the fight against addiction by becoming a “Partner in Recovery” by supporting their cause financially.

BWROC helps those seeking recovery from addiction through one-on-one recovery coaching, recovery events, and recovery support by offering a safe, non-judgemental environment and empowering the individual.

The Partners in Recovery program is a monthly program that asks donors to contribute a dollar amount of their choosing that will be deducted from their debit card or bank account each month. Each partner will receive a special BWROC Partner in Recovery t-shirt along with special thank you’s and pop-up donor events. 

The first pop-up event will take place on Monday, May 5th, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at BWROC, located at 617 10th St, Port Huron. 

For more information, call Joey Wright at: (517) 672-6277 or email at: jwright@bwroc.org.
