                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 16, 2022

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Primrose 
Hill Adult & Teen Challenge for their years of devotion to helping 
women receive faith-based recovery care. Primrose Hill recently 
received the Champion for Drug-Free Missouri Award.
  Primrose Hill is a residential recovery center for women and women 
with young children who have drug and alcohol addictions, located in 
Clark, Missouri. They are associated with the Adult & Teen Challenge, 
which is a non-profit faith-based organization that helps women find 
freedom from addiction. When women join the Primrose Hill Adult and 
Teen Challenge as students, they are given an opportunity to confront 
their choices, behavior, and any unhealthy views with the love of God 
and the guidance of Biblical principles. By allowing the women to bring 
their young children, Primrose Hill has also provided a space for 
mothers and children to experience mutual healing.
  Primrose Hill has proven to be a recovery center like no other, 
serving fifteen women in 2021 alone. Women from all over the United 
States come to Primrose Hill to experience physical, mental, and 
spiritual healing. They contribute to their own recovery by doing 
everyday activities such as cleaning the house, cooking their meals, or 
working at one of the nearby colleges. These women also attend chapel 
services, Christian growth classes, church, and receive Christian 
mentoring.
  To further forward their cause, Primrose Hill started PrimGoods, a 
bath and body care company. The natural products are made by the women 
in the program as another way for them to experience recovery. The 
products include homemade bar soaps, lip balms, and much more. All the 
proceeds raised from selling their products are used to supplement the 
cost of running the program.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Primrose Hill Adult & Teen Challenge 
for their hard work and dedication, and I thank them for their years of 
selfless devotion to recovery and restoration.
