Summer 2017 brought another opportunity for the participants at the Alcohol & Drug Addiction Parole & Probation Treatment (ADAPPT) residential reentry facility in Reading, Pennsylvania, to support the Berks Community Action Program (BCAP).
BCAP is a local non-profit organization that aims to combat poverty and assist low and moderate income residents become self-sufficient citizens.
On July 15, 2017, ADAPPT's staff accompanied participants on a street cleanup project in the City's 6th Ward, an event hosted by BCAP. ADAPPT’s record of community service continues to expand annually. In 2015, ADAPPT participants contributed nearly 5,000 hours of community service, and in 2016 their volunteer efforts grew to over 6,500 hours in service to local community non-profit organizations.
“We are proud of our ongoing commitment to BCAP and the City of Reading,” said Mike Critchosin, Director of ADAPPT. “Our participants are provided with an opportunity to give back to the community and experience the rewards of positive actions and responsible behavior.”
