Last Friday, Minnesota Recovery Connection hosted their annual Walk for Recovery event on St. Paul’s capital grounds! The event creates a space to make connections with community members and professionals alike who live and work in the world of recovery. Before the walk itself, organizations (like ourselves) setup tables and share their missions with attendees, which creates an environment dense with love and compassion for all things recovery! The event gives the public a platform to speak casually with professionals in the industry who can answer questions like: “Who can take care of my pet if need to go to treatment?” “What resources are available in my neighborhood that I don’t know about?” Or, “How can I get involved in my sober community?” Then, once everyone has settled, the crowd gathers and recognizes community members with significant sober time and embarks on the mile long walk honoring everyone who has been impacted by addiction, whether still with us today or not. All in all, it was a fantastic day to share our message with those who were interested and to get to know new people who carry the positivity that recovery brings out of all of us! We hope you can join us next year!
