Description
Since 1998, the generosity of our supporters has kept the doors open at Ashland to give over 3,000 women a chance at a new life for free.
Our philosophy is that of one alcoholic helping another. Our volunteers know exactly what the new woman is going through and are there to get her through those tough first nights.
After 30 days, a woman can move into one of the beds at our sober living homes where they can stay up to a year at a nominal charge. In sober living, the women begin to reconnect with their families and communities while learning to give to others what has been given to them.
Mission
The purpose of the Ashland Home is to provide a safe and caring environment for women to get sober with dignity and build a foundation for recovery.
Vision
We strive to be a model for alcoholic women to get and stay sober and lead happy productive lives, where they are reunited with their families, involved in their communities and giving back what was given to them.
Ashland is completely volunteer-run! That means that we need your help! One of the greatest gifts you can give us is your time.
The day-to-day operations at Ashland are managed by an all-volunteer group of sober, kind, and devoted individuals. Women may volunteer at the home to work with newcomers. These women, many of whom are former Ashland residents, are now active and productive members of the community they serve. They’re giving back the hope and support they were given. We also need volunteers to participate in fundraising, coordinating events, grocery and food bank shopping, directors and a host of other volunteer positions. Our volunteers really are the heart of Ashland. If you would like to speak to someone about volunteering, contact Sasha McInnis via text or phone at (949) 383-0914 or email at mcinnissc@gmail.com
