DABO’S ALL IN TEAM FOUNDATION^® donated sixteen (16) WAL MART gift cards valued at $200.00 each to each of the current residents at Serenity Place.

At Serenity Place, space is available for 16 women and 2 children each. Priority is given to admittance for pregnant women. Residential treatment is intensive, for a minimum of 50 hours per week, and daily life is structured with a focus on parenting and positive family and independent living skills. The average length of stay could be as much as 6 months, depending on the severity factors.

Because addiction has damaged most aspects of these families' lives, all aspects must be rebuilt. Serenity Place provides the holistic approach and highly structured environment needed for long-term recovery, a healthy lifestyle, and positive parenting.

Scott Dishman Director of Community Engagement, "The Family Effect is very grateful for the Christmas gift cards provided by Kathleen and Dabo, and the All-in Team Foundation. Our young mothers come into the program with very few life skills, because no one bothered to teach them the basics. Many have no experience in shopping for affordable, healthy foods for their children, or in finding toys and books that help their children's development. The All-in Team Foundation's gift cards help us to fund "clinical shopping trips" that literally take our mother's life skill classes into the real world, where they will have to succeed once they graduate from the program.”
