The Extension is a non-profit, community-supported organization serving Cobb County and the entire metropolitan Atlanta area. Our mission is to facilitate a transformation that empowers chemically dependent men and women to become sober, accountable members of society and to serve as a recovery resource for the community. We provide addiction recovery services through a comprehensive Residential Recovery Program for homeless men and women, outpatient counseling and various outreach initiatives.

The Extension staff would like to extend their gratitude to Mt. Zion UMC Sunday School classes, ministries, and the youth group for providing and serving meals to the women at the Extension. If your class or group is interested in preparing and serving a meal please contact Lynn Capland of Mt. Zion UMC Faith Partners at juddwc@aol.com.
Who: 20 women in our Residential Recovery Program for Women, plus those in your group—we like our volunteers to share dinner with our residents.
What: You can serve anything you wish. In addition to dinner, we ask that you fix something cold to drink. Things to think about are ease of preparation, cost, and whether or not you wish to prepare all or a portion of dinner off-site (at your home or church) or if you want to cook everything at our facility. We have plenty of pots and pans, a stove and oven and microwave. We have an outdoor gas grill at the facility. We also have plates, bowls and glasses, as well as flatware. The residents will clean the kitchen and wash the dishes, pots and pans.
When: Dinner is served at 7:00pm. Our residents often have classes and counseling to attend before and after dinner. Starting dinner promptly at 7:00pm allows the residents to have a full hour to eat and fellowship with each other and the volunteers.
Where: 130 Holiday Street in Marietta, off of Lawrence Street, several blocks from the Marietta Square.
Consider an outreach for your group,SS class or Youth by providing sack lunches to the Women's Extension.
Who: 20 women in our Residential Recovery Program for Women
What: They prefer non-perishable items in the sack lunches, but are certainly grateful for perishable lunches as well. The residents take a lunch with them to work each day. You can bring the lunches already assembled or assemble them at the facility. The like to have several days supply on hand all the time. Fixing sack lunches is a great way to get kids involved in service to the community.
When: We need lunches throughout the year.
