Take Action

Are you looking for a way to engage with us? We have several non-direct service (non-contact with clients) opportunities that will help move our mission forward. Of course, you could run a marathon or two to raise support, plus we have many other ideas how you can support our mission. A few are below, but we are open and welcome your ideas as well. Please email Candace at info@r199.org to let her know about how you'd like to focus your action steps or follow the links below.

Write a Note of Encouragement

R1:99 facilitates a weekly Grief & Loss program for 45 men and women in the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment unit at the DC Jail. Recovery is challenging, and participants often struggle to stay positive and recognize their own progress. You can make a meaningful impact by writing short notes of encouragement. Over the years, we’ve found that this small act of kindness is deeply healing for both the person receiving the note and the person writing it. This opportunity is open to both individuals and groups and takes about two hours.
