Give Hope to Veterans and Those Seeking Recovery
Growth and distance from the disease of addiction is a hard-fought battle, won one day at a time.
For many in recovery, however, life and the immediate after-effects of an active addiction need to be dealt with in smaller increments. Even a single minute, for a recovering addict, can mean the difference between giving in to a temptation to use and getting enough of a break to refrain for another day.
For others, such as those who have not yet found recovery, a single minute can mean the difference between life and death. Opioid abuse and overdose in America has reached epidemic proportions, with an average of ten overdose deaths per day in 2016 in Pennsylvania alone. In cases of acute opioid overdose, the small window of opportunity to administer life-saving medication before death occurs means that every minute counts.
In recognition of the fact that the 1,440 minutes in each day sometimes matter more than the day itself, Just For Today Recovery and Veterans Support Services has launched the 1440 Fundraising Campaign.
As featured on CBS 21 News, Just For Today (JFT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit community organization devoted to offering support services, housing and hope each and every day for those who struggle with addiction. We also provide education and advocacy for the recovery community in Central Pennsylvania. Please take a minute to visit our website and view all the services and activities we offer, including our Mobile Vivitrol* Program.
Help us make every one of the minutes in a day count; please share the 1440 Fundraising Campaign with your family and friends on Facebook. Tax-deductible donations of ANY amount are graciously accepted. Thank you for your support.
*Vivitrol is an effective, non-opioid medication treatment program that has been clinically proven to support continued abstinence from opioid abuse when combined with outpatient counseling.
