Joshua Osban
Secretary
Community Strong Cottage Grove Leadership Member
Living Faith Assembly Connect Group Leader
Retail Sales Associate
Former Wayfair Manager
Joshua’s first hand experience with addiction, and living on the streets make him an invaluable member of the team. His strong faith helped him realize that he had children and a family who love him and needed him to step up. And he did. A single dad of four, he works full-time and still finds the energy to volunteer and give back to his community. Joshua knows how important this work is. He has a passion for public speaking to get the message of healing out there so others may find their way home, just as he has.
We cannot do this alone…thank you to the Cottage Grove Community Foundation for a Start-Up Grant, 2024.

Chris Holloman
Treasurer
South Lane Fire and Rescue Fire Board Secretary
City of Cottage Grove Roads Committee
Director of Business Development, Nebraska Irrigation
Former Owner Holloman Ford
Chris became interested in helping others through recovery after his dear friend, who was like a brother to him, succumbed to his addictions. He knew it wasn’t about money that he was homeless, but something deeper. When he heard about how effective the Classic Therapeutic Community model is, he jumped right in.
