Special Monday Blog: Straight & Narrow Rehab Center Fire

This past weekend, we heard the unfortunate news about a fire that burned down the Straight & Narrow halfway house in Paterson, displacing over 200 individuals who are recovering from drug and alcohol dependency.

During December, Straight & Narrow hosted the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey on a tour through their facilities. The entire team was so welcoming and hospitable during our time there. We are saddened to hear of this terrible news, but we are thankful that everyone is safe.

In response to this horrible tragedy, a fundraiser has been arranged to help provide shelters for all those displaced from the blaze.

To make a donation, simply:

  • Text: SNFIRE to 41444 to make a donation from your cell phone .
  • Call: 973-737-2077 Ext. 403 to make a donation over the phone.
  • Visit: www.ccpaterson.org/snfire to make a donation online and to find more information on how to donate gifts of clothing and other needed items.
  • Email: info@ccpaterson.org for more information about how to help.

On behalf of the Partnership, we are thankful that no one was harmed in the fire and encourage everyone to offer their support during this difficult time.
