• Thursday, November 28th - Holiday/Building Closed - Thanksgiving

Although the things themselves maybe small, customers at EFFORTS can recall the days they failed to appreciate life. At EFFORTS, we believe once you master the finite art of gratitude, you will forever see that there are no obstacles too Big to prevent one from discovering true inner happiness.

EFFORTS is not faith-based, but we do believe God wants us all to be thankful for not only the large stuff that happens in our lives like a car, raise, or bonus, but also for the small things like life, being clean and sober, family, activities of our limbs, and another opportunity to get it right!

At EFFORTS for the month of November, we utilize the activities to be centered on being thankful!
