Chillliwack – SEPTEMBER 26 UPDATE – From Ruth and Naomi’s (RAN): On September 20 was the annual Ride 4 RAN—and what a day it was. A record 190 riders took part, and together we raised over $97,000 to strengthen the programming that supports people on their recovery journey.
It wasn’t just about the ride. It was about stories. Three courageous individuals stood before the crowd and shared some of the most painful moments of their lives with honesty and emotion. They spoke of the brokenness they’ve faced—and the hope they’ve found. Each story pointed to the space they’ve been welcomed into, the team walking alongside them, and the renewed or restored faith in God that anchors their recovery. Moments like these remind us that while we offer a growing number of programs and services, recovery is at the very heart of what we do.
Looking ahead, the annual Thanksgiving Dinners are right around the corner. You may have already received or seen some information about this. These meals are always about more than simple physical sustenance—they are expressions of kindness, opportunities to build trust, and invitations into relationship. Every plate served is a reminder that no one is alone and that there is hope for tomorrow. If you would like to contribute, you can do so here.
