Since 1885, the nonprofit has supported people facing addiction and homelessness and now serves more than 650 men, women, and children. Its long-term, faith-based recovery programs focus on peer-to-peer support, with 70% of staff made up of program graduates.

As part of the milestone celebration, leaders also unveiled plans for Recovery Park, a new outdoor space for clients and the community. Good Morning Maryland's Megan Knight served as emcee for the sold-out event.
