Created from love and a need

Our founder, Katie Bryant, spurred by a deep sense of compassion and commitment to positive change, found herself on a transformative journey when she decided to support a childhood friend in their recovery journey. Witnessing the challenges her friend faced firsthand, she recognized a broader community need for comprehensive recovery services. Fueled by this realization, she embarked on the ambitious task of establishing a non-profit recovery service organization. Her personal connection with recovery, coupled with her keen insight into the community's needs, became the driving force behind the organization's mission to connect individuals with vital resources like support meetings, food and clothing banks, and job services. Through the orgainzation's dedication and empathy, Blount County Recovery Services has become a catalyst for positive change, creating an invaluable support system for those on the path to recovery in the community.
