Every Turnabout Counts. Your Support Does Too.

Over the past few weeks we gathered 541 years of recovery from 79 participants in our Every Turnabout Counts promotion. The numbers are inspiring. The alumni stories are even better.


Some people are new in recovery. Some have decades behind them. Every person shows the grit, the courage, and the work it takes to turn a life around. Their stories can break your heart. Their victories can fill your eyes with tears of joy.


These stories matter even more today. More recovery centers in Minnesota are closing each year. Rural communities feel this loss first. Your support has allowed Project Turnabout to stand strong. Because of you, we have become the most impactful rural recovery center in Minnesota. We have served our communities for more than 50 years.


Each year we help thousands of people steady their feet. We help them find a clear path forward. We help families heal.


This year your support carries even more weight. When a tornado destroyed our campus in 2000, we rebuilt together. The community stepped in and proved that we can survive any storm. That same unity will carry us through rising insurance costs and unstable federal funding.


Give to the Max Day is almost here. On November 20 we invite you to give in honor of your recovery or the recovery of someone you love. We also invite you to set up a monthly recurring gift. These monthly gifts help us build a strong and steady foundation so we can continue to serve rural Minnesota.
