The program is completely free to participants and receives no government funding. \u201cWe rely completely on donations. We are reaching out right now to different churches in the community trying to get some community support. Several people have started tithing there that helps,\u201d said Anchored Ministry President Michael Moses. \u201cWe fund raise on Friday and Saturday. We offer like a craft for a donation that has been paying the bills so far.\u201d Anchored Ministries opened in July and is a 12-month faith-based recovery center for women. Anchored Ministries is a non-profit organization, and that is located in the old Paul Steely Ford building near Exit 11 in Williamsburg. The upstairs portion of the building serves as a dormitory, and the downstairs is used as a sanctuary and for classes. \u201cMost of these women are in active addiction when they come in. We house, feed and clothe them for free for up to one year,\u201d said Moses, who was one of the keynote speakers at the Whitley County UNITE Coalition meeting Monday afternoon. The program is a work-study program that involves biblical classes, biblical counseling and so forth during the first part of the day, and work details at local churches or around the center later in the day. \u201cIt is just trying to instill the work ethic back in them and help them to become productive citizens again,\u201d Moses noted. The ministry currently has nine clients it is housing, but can accommodate up to 40 women. \u201cWe have beds open and available. We are trying to spread the word and get some more people in,\u201d Moses said. \u201cThe beds are available. A lot of people just don\u2019t know about us.\u201d Moses said there is no timetable for expansion. At first the ministry started in a smaller building that could house only 12 women, and now it is located in a building that will house up to 40 women. \u201cEventually, we would like to expand to a men\u2019s center,\u201d he added. Moses said that women, who need addiction treatment, or those, who know a woman that needs treatment, can contact intake coordinator Sarah Paul at (606) 765-7333, e-mail the organization anchoredministriescorp@gmail.com, or check out the group\u2019s Facebook page at anchoredministries17. In other business during Monday\u2019s UNITE Coalition meeting, the coalition discussed a new substance abuse help line program \u201cDon\u2019t Let Them Die,\u201d that was started by Gov. Matt Bevin\u2019s office. The program provides information about opioids, treatment options and the overdose antidote Naloxone. The program can be contacted by calling 1-833-8KY-HELP or 1-833-859-4357. In addition, the coalition announced its meeting scheduled for 2018. Quarterly meetings are slated for Jan. 15, April 16, July 16 and Oct. 15 and are tentatively scheduled for noon at the Whitley County Health Department in Williamsburg."}
