We have a BOAT! Unfortunately, this isn't a good thing; it goes against city code with what we do in our nonprofit program. We didn't even know about this boat until recently when we added a new home to our program. Apparently, someone dropped it off and left!

Our new home is in the making for nonresidential classes for women, men and children's outreaches.

If this boat is yours or if you know of any information that could help, please call us at 614-697-2450 or 614-476-4600, email is [email protected].

We must have this remove soon and if you can help give us a call, we sure would appreciate it!

Today, on International Women’s Day, my heart is full. Moments like this remind us why hope is always worth fighting for.

Words cannot fully express the feeling we experience when a woman walks through the doors of our home at Adult & Teen Challenge Columbus Ohio seeking help — and then months later walks out again as a graduate.

Stronger. Restored. Ready to build a new life.

The women in this photo represent courage in its purest form. Each made the difficult decision to confront life-controlling addiction and commit to the hard work of transformation. That journey requires humility, perseverance, and incredible strength.

What we witness on graduation day is more than success in a program.
We see hope restored. Families beginning to heal. Futures that once felt impossible now becoming real.

To these remarkable women — we celebrate you today and every day. Your courage inspires all of us.

And to the supporters, volunteers, and community members who walk beside these women on their journey — thank you. Because of you, lives are being changed.

Happy International Women’s Day.
