Featured Artists of March: Recovery Program at the Rescue Mission

Description

On March 16, participants in the Rescue Mission Recovery Program will be the Featured Artists at a special reception to display their pottery at 2nd Helpings Gallery. The participants, most of whom spent years trapped in drug and alcohol addiction before joining the Mission’s Recovery Program, will be on hand to meet and greet customers, give pottery demonstrations, and share how their experiences in the pottery studio have impacted their recovery. 

2nd Helpings Gallery is hosting the event in conjunction with Roanoke Valley Gives Day, an initiative of Foundation for Roanoke Valley to raise money and awareness for participating local non-profits, including the Rescue Mission, over 24 hours. On March 16 from midnight to 11:59 pm, donations to the Mission through the Roanoke Valley Gives Day website (rvgives.givebig.org) will go directly to provide shelter and food for people in need.
