Title
Button Campaign for Recovery Month
Description
In support of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, the Caribbean Basin and Hispanic ATTC is working in collaboration with community organizations and state agencies across Puerto Rico to collect an assortment of buttons that represent the diversity of addiction recovery patients, families, and communities across the U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the World. We will be asking for donations of various clothing buttons, such as those found on a shirt or a pair of pants, from other ATTCs and community-based organizations in an effort to represent the different faces of addiction recovery around the world.
