A huge THANK YOU to Jaywalker Lodge LLC in Carbondale, Colorado, and CEO Rob Ryberg for the incredibly generous donation of two Mercedes Sprinter 2500 passenger vans to New Directions Retreat / NDARS!
These vehicles have now safely arrived on site in Illinois and will significantly expand our transportation capacity for residents, program participants, and community support services.
Reliable transportation is more than just getting from one place to another — it creates access to housing support, treatment, employment opportunities, appointments, recovery resources, and community connection. This donation will have a direct and lasting impact on the people we serve.
We are deeply grateful for community partners who believe in collaboration, recovery, and investing in mission-driven organizations.
Thank you, Jaywalker Lodge LLC, for your generosity, partnership, and belief in the work we are doing.
