Fellowship Missions announced the grand opening of The Gathering Place, a space open to everyone in the community.
Bringing together individuals, mental health resources and recovery service organizations, this safe and welcoming environment fosters a sense of unity and support for the community, according to a news release provided.
This facility aims to make addiction recovery resources more accessible to the community, providing essential services such as substance use recovery resources, classes, support groups and one-on-one therapy.
With construction complete, Fellowship Missions is eager to share this resource with the community.
The Gathering Place is located at 123 S. Buffalo St., downtown Warsaw.
“The Gathering Place will play a key role in breaking down the social stigma surrounding recovery,” said Eric Lane, executive director and co-founder of Fellowship Missions. “We invite community members, supporters and friends to use and enjoy the space. Whether you want a place to sit, read, access support or meet with friends, The Gathering Place is here for you.”
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous supporters in our community whose contributions made the purchase and renovations of The Gathering Place possible. We deeply appreciate our community’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the well-being of Kosciusko County residents,” he said.
One of the greatest challenges individuals face in seeking treatment for substance use is the effort required to connect with various recovery-oriented organizations. The Gathering Place addresses this issue by fostering collaboration among organizations and serving as a centralized location for recovery services, making it easier for individuals to access, maintain, and stay connected to the recovery community, the release states.
The official ribbon-cutting and open house for The Gathering Place is at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Fellowship Missions has been part of the Warsaw community for over a decade, providing those struggling with homelessness and addiction in the community with the hope of transformation. Find more information about their mission and impact on their website at https://fellowshipmissions.net.
