Hope House Opening Today

The Rockbridge Recovery Hope House is opening today, Wednesday, in Buena Vista.

A ribbon cutting is slated for 10 this morning at 1813 Magnolia Ave.

“We hope that the community will come out and see all the hard work that has been done to create this incredible home for our future residents”, said Mike Taylor, program manager.

The house will serve six men at a time who are in longterm recovery from substance abuse. The house, donated by Brent and Deb Styer, has been under renovation since last August.

“We are extremely excited to be wrapping up this phase and preparing to accept men into the program,” said Lori Turner, fiscal manager of the project. “We have hired an excellent team of peer support specialists who are ready to begin changing lives.”
