Letter from the Director - Chris Somerville

Safe Harbor of Bucksnort has continued it’s goal in helping those affected in our community. Recent outreach has shown a great need in surrounding areas and we are sending members of our team on a daily basis. These members of our staff are actively seeking those who desire help and are transporting them to receive the services they need.

Safe Harbor of Bucksnort staff continues to strive for excellence as several have recently been promoted. Jay Messer, a Program Coordinator has recently been promoted to Admissions Coordinator due to his hard work and attitude. Mr. Messer rarely sees a problem he can’t find a solution for. This promotion comes about as our previous Admissions Coordinator, Caleb Jackson, has been promoted to the Reliable Coordinator. Mr. Messer's knowledge of recovery will be invaluable to our program. Congratulation Jay Messer ! Last but not least, Caleb Jackson has gained the vital position of Reliable Coordinator by having keen eye for detail and heart for the men will surely lead to prosperity among our men and our partners.

God continues to bless us here in Bucksnort. We are thankful for all that we’ve been given and are excited for all that is planned for the future. Safe Harbor of Bucksnort is currently accepting new clients and welcomes anyone who desires help to reach out to us. Our new Admission’s Coordinator Jay Messer can be reached at 865-410-6630 and our Director Chris Somerville can be reached at 931-994-9586. Thank you for all you do and your support. It affects more lives than any man can know.

Thankfully,

Safe Harbor of Bucksnort

Partner of the Quarter - Nashville Bun Company

Nashville Bun has been a God send. They provide a safe work environment and the men who work there state the employees of Nashville Bunn 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. From the start Nashville Bun has provided employment for 10 – 15 men. This is huge, helping the clients of Safe Harbor not only be productive and support their recovery but also granting an opportunity to those who might otherwise be unable.

We are thankful for Nashville Bun 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 Nashville Bun for all you do and we are excited to see where our partnership goes in the future!

Thank you

Caleb Jackson

George Huff has gone above and beyond in his time with us at Bucksnort. Soon to graduate.

On multiple occasions he's been observed encouraging people to focus less on the negative and more on the positive. George is a man who loves God and has strong convictions.

Staff of the Quarter - Jay Messer

Mr. Messer has been with Safe harbor on and off for three years. He has worked at 3 locations in a number of positions from Chaplain to Program to what he is doing now as our Admissions Coordinator.

Mr. Messer is a man of God and it shows with his interactions with the men and his classes. We are fortunate to have him on our team. His hobbies are reading, writing and personal fitness which he uses to teach our men as they are coming out of their addiction.
