How We Help…
The CPR mission concept began in 2013 when two recovering men in a transitional house came up with an idea for a music and arts festival to raise funds to assist fellow residents with emergency needs not provided by the house. Several successful fundraisers later, Community Program for Recovery (CPR) was formed as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Our board is all volunteers and made up of people in recovery and family members of people in recovery. Our largest annual fundraiser, Serenity Jam, addresses the need for extended support for people in recovery as well as groups and institutions that directly help alcoholics and addicts on their journey to a new life.
See and hear how transitional houses work, and how the residents directly benefit from the CPR Mission.

The Prospect House
The Mission of Prospect House is to provide high-quality drug and alcohol treatment in a long-term residential setting to men without money, insurance, or other resources. The Prospect House strives to lighten the burden for these men, bring sobriety within reach, and help rekindle dignity through self-respect and self-support. Since 1970, when it was founded, Prospect House has been and will remain
an abstinence-based program, providing a safe environment to learn a whole new way of life.
