DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Dayton community is celebrating addiction recovery with an event filled with live music, recovery resources and personal stories.
“We know people are hurting in Montgomery County. It’s important for us to come together as a community to have the open conversations and to celebrate those who are successfully living in recovery, to overcome the stigma that often comes with addiction,” said Helen Jones-Kelley, Executive Director of Montgomery County ADAMHS.
The Mobilize Recovery Bus Tour 2022, Declare Dayton, Montgomery County ADAMHS, and Levitt Pavilion are celebrating Recovery Month with Hope Changes Everything, a pop-up concert and community event.

According to a release, more than 30 vendors will be on-site to share information about community resources and support.
