A new faith-based 12-step addiction recovery program is opening its doors in Owego. Live Free is a program currently being spearheaded by Calvary’s Love West. The program will hold its first meeting at Joshua’s House in the rear of 57 North Avenue in Owego on September 8th. You do not need to RSVP ahead of time.
A similar program has been started at Calvary’s Love main campus in Johnson City, and has already yielded promising results.
Pastor Shawn Monclova of Calvary’s Love West says that the hope is to one day get the program running as a partnership among several Tioga County churches. In addition, Calvary’s Love West hopes to add free transportation to the program in the near future.
Pastor Shawn Monclova and Tioga County Legislative Chairwoman Martha Sauerbrey joined us on the WEBO Morning Show to tell us more.
