NEWPORT — This Thursday the Journey to Recovery Community Center at the United Church is inviting the public to meet the new executive director, and take part in a free barbecue and concert.
The event will take place on September 19, starting at 5:00 p.m.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet new director Shawn Gallagher and enjoy a very special presentation by musician Ben Fuller.
A Vermont native and country singer, Fuller, sold everything and moved to Nashville to make a name for himself in the country music realm.
Along the road, he faced his demons and found his purpose and drive.
He is committed to working to bridge the gap between individuals with and without substance use disorder, through music, encouraging dialogue on the topic with the intention of reducing stigma and bringing attention to the opioid epidemic.
