Letter from the Director - James Staffan |
|
Good day and many blessings from all the staff at Safe Harbor of Bucksnort. Through these changing times we have faired quite well and will not stop our primary focus: Reaching out to those at their lowest through the power of the highest.
My name is James Staffan and I am the new Director for the Bucksnort facility. I transferred from our Little Rock campus and would like to state that Bucksnort is a marvelous facility. We are constantly on the move here; looking for new ways to improve and brighten up the property.
Walking in Safe harbor of Bucksnort, I was immensely impressed at the professionalism and dedication of the staff. Each department head is focused on their tasks while wearing other hats assisting each other to better server these men. Troy Beasley, our Reliable Coordinator, works tirelessly to vet our clients and place them in the best possible job. Deeply ingrained in the recovery community is Christopher Somerville. He networks with courts, probation/parole officers, lifeliners, rehabilitation centers, and word of mouth to extend Safe Harbor's hand to men in need. Josh Smith, our lead Program Coordinator, wears many hats and meets clients needs on a daily basis. Chaplain James DeGraffenreid is a friend, a counsellor, a pastor, and a shoulder to lean on. I have seen him build good rapport with the clients. Those relationships he builds are priceless and are a good start for moving forward.
Here in Bucksnort we are striving to help each man with: Knowing God, Finding Freedom, Discovering their Purpose and Making a Difference. Those core principles are a substantial foundation to build upon. To anyone reading this, if there is someone that you know needing our program, please feel free to call upon us.
My direct cell as Director:
Admissions Coordinator:
Regional Director:
God Bless you and may peace be upon you and your families in Jesus Christ's name.

Partner of the Quarter - Ebbtide Holdings LLC |
|
Our most recent contract with Ebbtide Holdings LLC, has been a God send. They provide a safe work environment and the men who work there state the employees of Ebbtide holdings LLC are supportive and positive. The office staff at Safe Harbor appreciate the timely manner, in which documentation is received and the open communication which allows us to best serve the clients in the program. In the beginning, Ebbtide Holdings LLC started with 2 men and has grown to 5. We are currently working on starting more clients there soon. This is huge! Ebbtide continues helping the clients of Safe Harbor not only be productive and support their recovery, they are also granting an opportunity to those who might otherwise be unable. Chris, Makayla, Sloan, and the rest of the staff truly care about the men and have even donated 3 very nice air conditioning units for the client’s rooms.
We are a grateful beyond measure for Ebbtide Holdings LLC and are excited to say they are our Partner of the Quarter. Through open communication, a positive work environment, and opportunities for our men they have set themselves above the norm. Thank you, Ebbtide Holdings LLC, for all you do and we are excited to see where our partnership goes in the future!

Client of the Quarter - Terrill Smith Sr. |
|
"My name is Terrill Smith Sr. and I was born and raised in Murfreesboro, Tn. I have one child which is my son who is a junior in High School.
My choice of drugs was cocaine and marijuana and I began using at the age of 14 and 15. I once sold weed and cocaine, that's where my use began. I was pulled over in 2017 and arrested for possession of weapons. Court requested for me to come to Safe Harbor. I'm glad they accepted me.
Safe Harbor has blessed me with a job. It also has taught me to be patient. Last but not least it has caused me to think positively in negative situations."
