Who Are We

Hi! My name is Emily Francis. I am the founder and director of Redwood Recovery Project Inc. It has been my dream to start a nonprofit organization, focused on giving back to the community where I grew up and am now raising my girls. My family has a small hobby farm in rural Polk County, Wisconsin, where my husband and I both work as substance abuse counselors.

Throughout my career, I have enjoyed working in various human services roles and have recognized a growing need for women’s resources, especially throughout the St. Croix River Valley. Thanks to my husband, Brian, and our shared passion and support for the recovery community, my dream has become a reality!
