BLAIR COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — On Tuesday, several clients of Pyramid Healthcare helped Families United for Change clean up the "Circle of Hope" in Tuckahoe Park in Altoona.

The crew spent the morning raking leaves and picking up trash around the monument, which is dedicated to those who are affected by addiction.

They see the monument as positive affirmation that there are those in the community who value them and support them in their battles.

“I want to bring them here and let them show that there are people in the community who care about them. That it’s not just punishment, punishment, punishment for them. It’s about seeing that they are loved; they are appreciated for what they can give back to the community.”

This is the second year that Pyramid Healthcare’s clients have partnered with Families United for Change, and they plan on continuing the partnership in the future.
