OCJ Events
Events supporting addiction recovery all year long.
The Fundraising and Social Enterprise platforms of Our Collective Journey are vital pieces of our funding approach. It allows us to sustain our program services while ensuring there are no costs and minimal barriers to accessing those services. Employing this approach, we have a variety of fundraising programs and events with revenue going directly to run our programming, helping individuals eliminate financial roadblocks. This not only benefits the individuals, but also helps build a recovery community. This means when someone reaches out for help, they receive it as quickly as possible. OCJ believes that when someone makes the courageous step of reaching out for help, someone needs to be there – fundraising and social enterprise is the vehicle that helps makes this happen.
