The group is holding a Friendsgiving Gathering-monthly meeting Monday at 6pm at their office in Nanuet so people can enjoy the company of those who are in need and discuss the planning and organization of recovery events in the community. The Foundations Recovery Center is located at 25 Smith Street in Nanuet. For more information visit their website, www.FriendsOfRecoveryRockland.org, or send an email to forrockland@gmail.com.
