“It is very meaningful to share recovery with our friends and families and feel uplifted by the community,” said Jessika Easterling, founding executive director of OUR Place. “It’s especially inspiring that all the talented musicians are themselves in recovery, sharing their journeys through their music.”
Also part of the event are a bounce house, free food giveaways and resource tables from local behavioral health, housing and social service providers.
