Free Through Recovery

OUR STORY

After receiving his fifth felony, Adam Martin thought there has to be more to life than this. That lead him to start F5 Project in 2016 as a way to help improve the lives of formerly incarcerated individuals in Fargo, ND. The non-profit has now evolved into a statewide effort to provide services and resources to individuals struggling with incarceration, mental health and addiction that allow them to refresh their lives and become contributing members of our community.

HOW WE HELP

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, we follow a three step process as a guide.

Step1-Graphic

CONNECT

We connect with individuals in jails and in recovery to remind them that we’re available for them when they come out.

Step2-Graphic

PLAN

We ask, “What do you need?” to people who have never had that question asked to them and create a unique, heart-centered plan for each individual.

REFRESH

With a house, a job, a plan and hope for the future…Grace has been given – change is on the horizon.
