And happy to be live on location today at the Freedom House,

operated by the Volunteers of America Mid-States, just outside what Manchester, Kentucky here,

and Shannon the dudes alongside with me. The Freedom House is the only residential recovery program in the state that allows mothers and children to live together while the mother gets treatment for addiction and this facility opened in March of 2020, but today they're having a ribbon cutting ceremony with a new big expansion and Shannon we just got a tour of this place. This is a really cool. Yeah, first of all, it's a great service that they do for the community and it's like its own little village here these are really nice we got the tour there's uh you know two-story uh like little

little houses they have here but very very nice and great to be here this morning absolutely they've

served 763 women and over 420 children since it's been open in 2020 and it's just a great

thing for the community, right?

Like such a good cause. And not only that, teaching them life skills. There's a laundry room in there and a kitchen. You've got to live, but you also got to learn how to do things on your own. Yeah, our tour guide was saying, you know, have people come in and they're, you know, 23, 24 years old. They don't know how to do laundry. they don't know how to cook i said well you know i'm 43 i don't know how to do laundry i don't

how to cook maybe i should take a, you know, I'm 43.

I don't know how to do laundry.

I don't know how to cook.

Maybe I should take a lesson here while I'm here today.

That's right.

So it's for a great cause.

Come out and see us here in Manchester.

I knew I was in Manchester when I was walking up in the parking lot,

and Buck Stivers almost ran me over in his big truck, Shannon.
