At RestoPros of Dayton, our mission extends beyond restoring properties; we are dedicated to restoring lives and strengthening the communities we serve. In alignment with our C.A.R.E.S. approach—Calmly manage and guide, Assess the full situation, Respond timely and professionally, Educate every step of the way, and Stay connected even after the job is done—we are proud to announce a $16,000 donation to Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative.
Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative, located in Xenia, Ohio, is a pioneering organization committed to empowering individuals seeking recovery and youth aging out of foster care. Their mission is to rebuild lives through transformational and vocational pathways, addressing critical societal issues such as workforce shortages in skilled trades and the need for comprehensive support for those overcoming addiction and transitioning from foster care.
Founded in June 2021 by entrepreneurs Chris Adams of Narrow Path Plumbing, Kip Morris of Five Star Heating & Cooling, and Doug Van Dyke of Van Martin Roofing, Emerge has transformed the former Greene County Career Center into a 45-acre campus with over 150,000 square feet of collaborative space. This facility offers a holistic ecosystem of care, including inpatient and outpatient clinical services, faith-based opportunities, life skills training, mentoring, vocational education, apprenticeships, and job placement.
Our contribution will support Emerge’s multifaceted programs, which include:
- Recovery Services: Providing safe, supportive living environments managed by licensed behavioral health professionals, offering multiple paths to an addiction-free life, including faith-based, twelve-step, and blended pathways.
- Vocational Pathways: Offering on-site GED tutoring and testing, partnerships with second-chance employers, and certified trade school programs through The Trades Institute, enabling participants to gain skills in high-demand fields.
- RestoPros of DaytonRestoPros of DaytonLife Skills Development: Equipping individuals with essential skills for independent living, such as money management, interview preparation, cooking, and health education.
This donation reflects our unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the Dayton area and its residents. By supporting Emerge, we aim to contribute to a future filled with rekindled hope, restored lives, and lasting change in our communities.
