Hello Friends,
We began Jenna’s Promise in 2019 after the tragic loss of our daughter to substance use disorder. Jenna, ourselves and her brother, experienced first-hand the emotions, trauma, sorrow, and emptiness that so often occurs at every level of the ongoing struggle against the opioid crisis.
So, instead of succumbing to despair or hopelessness, we have decided to turn instead to hope. Inspired by our daughter’s spirit and her desire to help, we have decided to commit ourselves to a greater cause to honor her memory. Thus, the Tatro family is proud to introduce Jenna’ Promise, an organization dedicated to the pursuit of substance use prevention. It will endeavor to help organizations which use evidence-based methods to help people that are suffering from substance use disorder as well as assisting their families through the treatment and wellness process.
We feel such gratitude for the overwhelming support shown by the community, civic leaders, and volunteers who have shown enthusiasm for this project. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store!
God bless,
Greg and Dawn Tatro
Jenna’s Promise Rae of Hope Sober Home was created with the fundamental belief that people can recover from addiction and trauma with the support of a positive community. At Rae of Hope, we ask that residents arrive with desire and motivation to embark on a holistic journey towards wellness. Rae of Hope is Vermont’s first Level 3 Recovery Residence, certified by the Vermont Alliance for Recovery Residences.
We have two social enterprises that provide workforce development for our clients. Jenna’s Promise Roasting Company and JPs Promising Goods discount store were both created to offer jobs to people in recovery and help them gain work experience. The combination of safe housing and employment will help people reach their full potential. The profit from these businesses will support Jenna’s Promise and our mission long-term.
This program supports individuals on their journey to recovery through a holistic approach to wellness in all forms. We offer yoga, meditation, nutrition classes, a full gym on the lower level of Jenna’s House, and more! Our Health & Wellness team can help build a wellness plan specific to your needs.
We welcome anyone recovering from or interested in recovering from any substance or behavior. Join peers, parents, friends, siblings, and family members who are walking the same path as you. This is a judgment free space to share your story and receive help and support.
Jenna’s House is a center point for the community, and helps to break down the stigma associated with substance use disorders. The main floor is a state-of-the-art events venue and provides space for events for up to 150 people. The bottom floor includes a full gym, kitchen, and space for intensive outpatient programs.
Our social enterprises are an integral part of our workforce development program. Our program participants have the opportunity to reenter the workforce and gain valuable experience. Proceeds from both businesses directly support Jenna’s Promise.
Jenna’s Promise Roasting Co. is focused on sourcing and roasting the best coffee from around the world. As a facet of Jenna’s Promise, the roasting company will act as a platform for outreach and offer workplace development opportunities for those in the program.
