This week we heard from Hunter Parisien, Behavioral Health Coordinator at Aspire Services. Hunter runs the Growth and Engagement Center located in the Hope Center building downtown. The recovery program started in March 2026, contracted thru the state Dept of Health Human Services. Currently they have 200 active members utilizing one or more of their 23 offered services, one being a noon meal every weekday and every other Saturday. Hunter stated they serve between 35-50 individuals daily.
They always welcome donations of prepared meals, food donations or cash donations.
*Rotary will be donating all leftovers from our Sept 17 Annual Spaghetti Feed as well as a percentage of the profit made on the event to be used towards meals.
