Talia’s Fit To Recover Giving Tuesday Fundraiser

Fit To Recover (FTR) is a non-profit organization that helps provide a safe outlet for those affected by substance abuse and mental health recovery through exercise, nutrition, creative arts, and service. 

I first came to FTR and attended the ladies art class in Feb 2024 and since then I was hooked. Even the very first day I was there I felt so welcome. Now almost two years later I am lucky to experience a full circle moment and I now lead the weekly ladies art class, where we get to connect, create and express ourselves in a healthy outlet.  I also had the opportunity to help organize this years 2nd Annual Womens Wisdom Workshop where we helped support discussion and provide resources to feeling safe in your body, mind, and relationships. 

At FTR I’ve found a community, people who truly understand, who show up for each other, and who care in a way that’s rare and real. I generally spend 4 days a week at FTR, and every time I walk through the door I feel welcome, supported, and at home—an instant mood boost. Even when I’m not at FTR I’m probably talking about it, thinking about it, or texting someone from the community. Every time I leave a class I feel better—happier, stronger, more grounded, and more connected. FTR has given me so much more than just a place to workout (…or cook, craft, jam out & give back) it has given me a place to connect, heal, grow, and thrive in my sobriety and recovery journey.  

This place and its members mean so much to me, please consider donating this Giving Tuesday!! Any amount helps and allows us to continue to offer services and support to anyone who needs them without finances being a barrier.
