Thank you to Masonic Foundation!

This month, we would like to thank the Masonic Foundation of Utah for their support of Fit To Recover's Food To Recover Program. With their support, our Food To Recover program will be able to provide meal scholarships to low-income individuals in early recovery. Providing scholarships to those most vulnerable post-treatment would be instrumental in helping an individual maintain sobriety. Thank you, Masonic Foundation of Utah!
