Great Lakes Recovery Centers recently teamed up with the Lake Superior Community Partnership to celebrate the relocation of the GLRC Foundation. The foundation office, once located in Ishpeming, has recently moved to the GLRC’s outpatient office in Marquette. Pictured from left to right: Andrew Flory, foundation grants & marketing; Robert Mellin, output service director; Shelby Bischoff, foundation coordinator; Greg Toutant, executive director; and Jason Sides, Offenders Success community coordinator. The foundation oversees grant writing and fundraising events, such as the Annual Run for Recovery and the Peter White Family Cabins event. For 15 Upper Peninsula counties, the GLRC contracts with the Michigan Department of Corrections for the Offenders Success program, the primary goals of which are assuring parolees have direction and access to the means necessary for successful integration in their communities. With nearly 40 years in the area and four residential sites, the GLRC served over 3,000 people in 2016 alone. They offer two facilities in Marquette, one a 36-bedroom adult facility, and the other a transitional house for women. Other sites include their New Hope Houses in Sault St. Marie and their youth facility in Negaunee. Their mission is to empower recovery through hope and change, and to create healthy communities-one person at a time.
