Mother to Mother Recovery Center
St. Albans first met Tlayra Jordan at our 2024 Lenten Luncheon Series, where she gave a program on the Mother to Mother Recovery Center, a 12-month residential facility
specifically designed to help women rebuild their lives. This initiative was born out of her deep understanding of the unique challenges that women in recovery face, especially when it comes to reconnecting with their children.
We were so impressed with her, and the passion she had for Mother to Mother that the members of our church opened our arms and began an immediate support program to those in Recovery through Mother to Mother. Parishioners have kept up a steady stream of donated toiletry items, winter coats and jackets, linens and more. Several of us have toured the Recovery home and met the ladies in the program. We are delighted to support this program and every time we take a donation of items, we always ask “What are your needs and how can we help?
