On Friday, July 18, 2025, JBO joined our incredible community partners for “Dreams, Dogs, and Donuts,” a vibrant Family Fun Day hosted by The Other Side Donuts and USARA (Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness)at 760 S Redwood Road in Salt Lake City.
The event brought families, neighbors, and organizations together in a joyful atmosphere filled with karaoke, face painting, open mic performances, and—of course—free donuts and hot dogs (while supplies lasted!). But more than just fun, this event was a meaningful reminder of the power of community connection and recovery-centered support.
🤝 JBO in the Community
JBO showed up with:
- Trauma-informed resources for justice-impacted individuals and families
- Peer support tools and information
- Connection to upcoming healing-centered workshops and events
We had the chance to meet new faces, reconnect with old friends, and share space with community members who are walking their own journeys of healing, recovery, and empowerment.
Events like these are at the heart of what JBO stands for—bridging systems with lived experience and offering real, human-centered support to those most often left out of traditional justice spaces.
💖 Thank You, Partners
A heartfelt thank-you to The Other Side Donuts, USARA, and all the other organizers and volunteers who made this event so meaningful. We’re proud to be part of a movement where recovery, justice, and joy can coexist.
