[Mason, Ohio, June 3, 2024] — OneCity for Recovery, a local non-profit dedicated to combating substance abuse disorder and supporting individuals impacted by addiction, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $25,000 grant from Greater Cincinnati Foundation's Boots on the Ground Fund.
The Boots on the Ground Fund, established by Greater Cincinnati Foundation, aims to provide critical support to organizations addressing a range of community challenges, such as homelessness prevention, access to healthcare, workforce development, and mental and behavioral health services. This grant underscores OneCity for Recovery's commitment to addressing substance abuse and its ripple effects on individuals and communities.
Since its inception in 2014, OneCity for Recovery has been at the forefront of the fight against substance abuse in Southwest Ohio.

Through The HopeLine, OneCity for Recovery offers a lifeline to individuals struggling with substance use addiction, providing free guidance, resources, and support to help them on their journey to recovery.
