Hattiesburg church raises $11K for addiction recovery organization By Caroline Wood | April 21, 2021 at 9:38 PM CDT - Updated April 21 at 10:13 PM
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - A Pine Belt church held a fundraiser last month to raise money for an organization that helps with recovery efforts for those struggling with addiction.
James Moore started advocating for addiction recovery after his son, Jeffrey, died from a drug overdose in 2015. He later launched Jeffreyâs Fund, which supports recovery by helping those struggling with addiction pay for things like medicine and sober living houses. Itâs all thanks to a local church.
