Thankful Together: What The 24 Staff is Grateful for This Season

As the season of gratitude fills the air, we at Dallas 24 Hour Club find ourselves reflecting on the many blessings that fuel our mission every day. For our staff, gratitude is more than a sentiment—it’s the foundation of the work we do, and it connects us to each Resident, volunteer, donor, and supporter.


From witnessing personal growth and milestones in recovery to feeling the warmth of a supportive community, each of us has something meaningful to be thankful for. In honor of this month of gratitude, we’re excited to share what fills the hearts of our team members at The 24.
