In His Steps is a Christian-based recovery program that offers men and women with drug and alcohol or life controlling problems a supportive and nurturing environment.

As a nonprofit community organization, In His Steps offers residential and non-residential services as well as 12 step meetings, anger management, parenting, and financial freedom classes. It also works with the courts and probation/parole departments.

In His Steps opened in 1995 and has three men’s homes and two women’s homes holding up to 50 residents.

“Our mission is to help individuals move from a lifestyle of dysfunctional misbehavior to one in which they may carry their own weight, become active participants in our community, and most importantly aid in the return to the life that God intended him to live,” reads a statement from In His Steps.

Organizers of the holiday extravaganza say that the “live auction is not only a Ramona tradition; it’s a spectacular community event not to be missed.”
