White Horse Recovery has been awarded a $35,000 grant from the Kendal C. and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation to purchase a seven-seat 2025 Kia Sorento as a dedicated transportation vehicle for its North Conway location. The Kendal C. and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation focuses on supporting the Mt. Washington Valley of New Hampshire, and Bridgton and Fryeburg, Maine communities in areas of human services, environment, and community development.

According to White Horse Executive Director Matthew Plache, the grant will eliminate many of the transportation barriers that often prevent clients from reaching detox facilities, intensive outpatient therapy sessions, recovery meetings, and essential support services. “Many clients served by White Horse Recovery are homeless, lack vehicle access, or have lost driving privileges due to addiction-related issues,” he said. "Transportation is often the difference between someone getting help and falling through the cracks.”
