This grant will allow the Rotary Club of Kenai to assist a local nonprofit, Freedom House (a faith-based, level 2, long-term recovery residence located in Soldotna, Alaska), to purchase materials to rebuild two decks that are currently unstable due to deteriorating wood. Freedom House houses/serves approximately 47-50 people per year. Residents are transitional and are provided with the life skills they need to move forward with a clean and sober life. This grant will assist for a deck to be restored and rebuilt at both the women's and men's Freedom House facility.
