Serenity Recovery Network Launches $4.5 Million Capital Campaign to Expand Recovery Services for Women and Families
CINCINNATI, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Serenity Recovery Network (SRN), a Cincinnati-based nonprofit committed to abstinence-based recovery housing, proudly announces the launch of its first-ever capital campaign: Recovery | Reunify | Transform. This bold initiative marks a transformative moment in SRN's 20-year history of helping individuals and families overcome substance use disorders. With a total campaign goal of $4.5 million, the first two phases — budgeted at $1.6 million — will fund the initial development of a comprehensive recovery campus. SRN's board of directors is pleased to share that over 45% of the Phase I and II goal has already been raised, thanks to generous support from board members, alumni, individual donors, and foundational grants. ' This campaign is about more than building structures — it's about building lives,' said Kurt Platte, President of Serenity Recovery Network. 'Recovery is possible, and this campaign ensures that no one who seeks help is turned away.' The new campus will address the urgent needs of women and their families by providing expanded housing and critical recovery services. Planned developments include: Renovation and expansion of apartment units to offer safe, sober living spaces. Transformation of the existing carriage house into a vibrant community hub featuring a childcare room, meeting spaces for AA/NA groups, and wraparound support services. Increased residential capacity and parking, enabling SRN to serve more individuals. Creation of outdoor gathering spaces and classrooms, designed to foster a welcoming, healing environment. Lead gifts have already been committed by Leslie and Dan Nowicki and Beth and Kurt Platte, with significant foundation support from The City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County via the One Ohio Recovery Foundation, and The Spaulding Foundation. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), over 187,000 Greater Cincinnatians are directly affected by addiction. Since its inception, Serenity Recovery Network has served more than 1,540 individuals, offering structured housing, compassionate care, and a path to lasting recovery. 'This expansion will allow us to reach more people, provide more resources, and meet the rising need in our community,' said Allison Marchioni, Executive Director of SRN. 'We've seen firsthand how stability and support can transform lives.' SRN's efforts were recently featured on Fox19 News, highlighting the organization's mission and the impact of this new campaign on the region's recovery landscape.

Weather: More storms, flooding possible Thursday
Keep your umbrellas handy, Greater Cincinnatians. More rounds of showers and storms, along with heavy rain and potential flooding, will continue into the weekend. The National Weather Service in Wilmington reports that a cold front will move southeast across the area Thursday. Showers and embedded storms will continue early this morning, but will taper off by mid-morning. Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop across the south Thursday afternoon, eventually spreading north. Forecasters said that severe weather chances will be low in the far south portion of the coverage area. Highs will range from the upper 60s to the lower 70s. Showers and storms will increase across the region overnight. Lows will range from the mid-40s in the north to the mid-50s in the south. Showers and storms will continue on Friday. Highs will range from the upper 50s north to the lower 70s south. Wet weather will persist with high chances for showers and storms through Saturday. Saturday night is predicted to have the heaviest widespread rainfall of the week with strong to severe storms possible. Saturday's temperatures will range from the mid-60s in the northwest to the lower 80s in the southeast. A significant cooldown is expected Sunday, with highs ranging from the mid-40s in the northwest to near 60 in the far southeast. Rain is also forecast to move southeast out of the area on Sunday. Most of the region will remain under a flood watch until Sunday morning. Soil remains moist and excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations, forecasters said. The Ohio River at Cincinnati is expected to see some slight flooding, with a forecasted peak at 50.5 feet by Sunday morning. At that level, water will cover low areas of Kellogg Avenue east of Delta Avenue upstream to near Coney Island and Belterra Park. Outbuildings at Coney Island, Riverbend Music Center and parts of Humbert Avenue in the East End of Cincinnati will also be flooded. Some of Public Landing may become flooded, as well as Riverside Park off River Road. Severe storms and at least two radar-confirmed tornadoes tore through the Tri-State overnight, according to the National Weather Service. Large trees also fell on at least two homes in Loveland and Erlanger, where one person was rescued, according to fire crews. In general, trees and wires are down all over the region, county dispatchers say. The NWS in Wilmington confirms a radar-confirmed tornado touched down in northern Brown County and went into southeast Clinton County near the village of Lynchburg in Highland County. Another one hit in northeastern Clinton County near Sabina before moving into Fayette County, according to meteorologist Christine Aiena. These radar-confirmed tornadoes are not declared 'official' tornadoes until the NWS surveys damage on the scene later Thursday to determine whether it is from tornadoes or straight-line winds. Highland County dispatchers confirm the Lynchburg area has 'a lot of damage.' They said around 2:30 a.m., they were 'slammed' with calls requesting emergency service or reporting storm damage such as wires and trees down. 'It will be a task trying to sift through everything trying to figure what is straight-line winds and what was tornadic,' Aiena said. More than 49,000 Duke Energy customers are without power in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. It's unclear when power will be restored, according to the utility's website.
