VERNON — Become Part of the Solution recently received a donation of $3700 from 100 Women Who CareNorth Central Connecticut.

BPS is a unique, all volunteer, community based, nonprofit outreach organization based in VernonRockville that was formed to help provide inpatient acute care, post-inpatient rehabilitation, and post-rehabilitation housing for alcoholics and addicts who are in need.

BPS was founded in 1991 by Chris Luginbuhl of Rockville and Smokey Orcutt, a former drug and alcohol counselor at Rockville General Hospital. Orcutt had been having difficulty getting people into treatment because those in need were either uninsured or underinsured.

He and Luginbuhl formed Become Part of the Solution, a part of Union Congregational Church in Rockville, to help the area’s sick and suffering gain access to treatment.

Since that time, they have spon- sored well over a hundred people seeking help with their alcohol or addiction issues.

Become Part of the Solution is a virtual outreach organization with no paid staff and no overhead.

100% of all donations go toward providing care for alcoholics and addicts who are in need.

Luginbuhl accepted the award, stating “Become Part Of the Solution is very grateful to 100 Women Who Care for this donation. 100% will help men and women get into sober housing if they have the willingness. In 20222023, we have been blessed to give out 141 scholarships. God Is Good.”

100 Women Who Care-North Central CT is a philanthropic organization with over 600 chapters throughout the world. Inspired by the influence of their collective resources, the group meets four times a year to select a charity to receive a contribution.
