Vickie Shaw, the Executive Director of Fit to Recover, is being recognized as a neighbor helping to improve District 5.
Council Member Erika Carlsen expressed excitement in recognizing Shaw for her work in making the community a better place.
Fit to Recover has evolved from a fitness space for individuals in recovery into a vibrant community hub. The center offers various activities including fitness classes, nutrition, art, cooking, and music.
While the mission of Fit to Recover is to support people recovering from substance use disorders, the organization welcomes everyone. Upon entering the facility, visitors are met with a sign that reads: “Just Breathe, You’re Safe.”
Through the leadership of Shaw, Fit to Recover has become a location where people can find belonging and build community.
The work performed by Shaw and the Fit to Recover team contributes to making the Ballpark neighborhood and District 5 a stronger and more connected place.
