We’re Hitting the Road!
We are kicking off a new FTF program, Roadtrip to Recovery 2.0. We recently appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show, where Kelly and her team, in partnership with Bish's RV, surprised us with a brand-new 2022 Jayco Alante 27A!
April marks National Minority Health Month and we couldn’t think of a better time to hit the road! Through a new collaboration with Bish's RV, our team will be picking up the RV in Idaho and documenting our road trip down to Washington, DC from April 16-23 as we highlight National Minority Cancer Awareness Week. Along the way, we will be making a few stops and collaborating with some amazing organizations and companies.
Don’t worry, there are a few locations where you can join us for an overnight stay or daytime/evening activity. If you live nearby or can get to any of the locations below, please apply to join us!
*Transportation will not be provided to any location.

And so it begins! Join us as we meet the welcoming community in Boise and Meridian! Before picking up our RV, we’re partnering with the Idaho Black Community Alliance, who has organized a fun evening with the local community to raise awareness for our cause and Black women’s health. We wouldn’t want to start this journey without the women we serve, so we teamed up with Hyatt to offer a few overnight stays! Come enjoy an evening out, check out our new RV and take part in our morning fitness power hour hosted by DOPE Boxing, one of the world’s leading woman-owned boxing studios. Even if you are not selected for a full overnight experience, please feel free to support the public welcome at Chow Public Market & Eatery!
