OUR MISSION

Offering Hope, Help, and Healing to women in recovery from addiction, supporting their transition
to a healthy, drug-free life.

OpenDoor-Columbus is a grassroots, boots on the ground, nonprofit organization serving the most vulnerable women

in our community, women in recovery from substance use disorder.

​

OpenDoor-Columbus provides one-year of free services to women as they transition

from treatment and/or incarceration to a drug-free life.

​

A group of six to eight community volunteers make a year commitment to act as a team of mentors, encouragers,

and advocates for each woman while cultivating relationships that last long beyond the year. 

 

This transitional relationship fills the void that exists between incarceration, treatment, or a court ordered program

to sustainable recovery.

​

​

 We need your help! We need you to open your heart. We cannot do this without YOU!

 

“There is no greater gift to yourself than the gift of helping others. OpenDoor-Columbus allows you to help someone help themselves, making the gift last a lifetime!” - Theresa, Volunteer

Our Story

3 moms.webp

OpenDoor-Columbus was founded by three moms...

​

Leslie Kristoff, Rachel Muha, & Tammy Foeller brought together by the pain caused from substance use disorder. Two of us desperate for our daughters, Samantha & Stephanie to stop using drugs and one devastated by the death of her son Brian, murdered by men high on drugs.

​

OpenDoor-Columbus is our response to the opioid epidemic that has ravaged our community.

​

Offering Hope, Help, and Healing to women in recovery from addiction while supporting their transition to a healthy & drug-free life.

​

Three moms. One vision. Many goals.

Our lives brought together by sadness, pain, heartache and now... HOPE • HELP • HEALING
