No Choice But To Help

MADE180 Founder Jason Dickerson knows how important recovery opportunities can be, having seen members of his own family struggle with addiction.

“I grew up in a community ravaged by drug use,” says Dickerson. “When I left to get an education, I thought I’d never return, but here I am. And when you’re surrounded by people in need, you have no choice but to lend a hand.”
