To The Editor:

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the community for supporting our recent Harvest Dinner. In particular, I would like to thank the area businesses both honored, and those not named, that have been longtime supporters of women in early recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. Obtaining and maintaining employment is emphasized by Crawford House’s residential program as a key way to foster self-worth, economic independence and self-sufficiency. We remain grateful to the following community businesses who are giving women the opportunity to lead independent, productive and happy lives: Bon Appetit, Chartwells, Chez Alice, Jordan’s Stationery & Gifts, McCaffrey’s Supermarkets, Nelson’s Corner Pizza, Rawson Group/Wendy’s, Red Oak Diner, ShopRite of Hillsborough, and Smith’s Ace Hardware. We extend our thanks to the community for providing a supportive environment where women can achieve and sustain their recovery.
