NEWSLETTER JUNE & JULY
Ministry Village at Olive Community Blood Drive
Special thank you to everyone who participated in the Blood Drive on June 20, 2023. Through the help of our community partners LifeSouth Community Blood Center, we were able to raise $400 to be used towards the Charis House women's recovery program annual retreat.
Each year our ladies' recovery program is able to take a weekend retreat to the beach. This opportunity allows the ladies to get more in tune with God's creation. During this time the ladies and our Charis House staff are able to make lasting memories in a fun, sober environment. Our ladies were able to do activities like, a dolphin cruise, eat at various restaurants, and of course lots of beach time.
