Today, we’re excited to share a new, effortless way for local businesses to expand access to recovery support—without spending one extra dollar.
Through our new partnership with Share360, your business can support recovery simply by doing what you already do. A portion of your existing credit and debit card processing fees is redirected to our Center at no additional cost to you—turning everyday transactions into life-changing impact.
