🌱 Exciting news from TRS! 🌟 We had the honor of decorating an R for the Rutgers Garden Project, and it’s brimming with meaning. Our R symbolizes “Recovery,” embodying our mission of compassionate assistance. With calming colors, woven telephone wires, and inspirational quotes, it reflects resilience and connectivity. Nature-inspired elements signify growth and renewal, while integrated telephone symbols remind us of our focus on telephone-based support. This R stands as a tangible symbol of recovery, resilience, and the strength found in community connection. 📞💙  

Celebrating the success of Rutgers Day! 🎉 We’re thrilled to have distributed 120 boxes of Narcan and 200+ fentanyl testing strips, empowering our community with life-saving resources.
