From Setbacks to Success: Crafting 217 Recovery's Apparel Line

It's something that could work, you know, and it could take and turn it into two, you know, and it's just kind of a way to keep the donations kind of rolling forward.
Ever wondered what goes into creating merchandise for a non-profit? In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield and his wife Marney pull back the curtain on their journey to launch an apparel line. It wasn't all smooth sailing; they faced plenty of bumps along the way, from designing logos to finding a manufacturer who could meet their quality standards.
Corey shares a particularly frustrating moment when an order of hats came back subpar, forcing them to start their search anew. But persistence paid off, and they eventually partnered with a professional company to bring their vision to life. More than just clothing, these recovery-themed items serve as a beacon of hope and a conversation starter about addiction and recovery. Corey emphasizes how crucial merchandise can be for fundraising efforts, helping to support those in early recovery and active addiction.
The episode also touches on the emotional impact of wearing these items, breaking down stigmas and encouraging open discussions about recovery. As a special treat, Corey and Marney announce that attendees of the upcoming Recovery Zone Rally can pre-order fall shirts and be the first to receive them at the event. They also share updates on other exciting events and encourage listeners to explore more resources on the 217 Recovery website.
