Robert Williams Jr., Founder, President and CEO of No Limit 4 Recovery Clubhouse created this nonprofit organization in 2019 with a vision of providing service to the local community. Williams and his wife, Tracey are parishioners and trustees of St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Boyce, LA. They founded the Clubhouse, located in the Sonia Quarters near Bolton High School, to provide counseling and spiritual support for people addicted to drugs and alcohol. However, the vision of the Clubhouse expanded after the Covid-19 Pandemic to offering services to the elderly, opening a food pantry, a clothing thrift store as well as workshops for empowering families as well as activities for children and youth.
The Clubhouse has hosted such events as “Bringing Unity Back to Cenla” in September of 2021 as well as “The Funeral is Cancelled” event in March 2021, teaming up with local pastors and community leaders to emphasize non-violence in the community and empowering youth to think on broader horizons.
With community support and No Limit 4 Recovery Clubhouse founding board members, they’ve been able to provide resources to people in need. Williams tells the Church Today that “when you come into this building, there’s no limit. You can express how you feel. You can be who you are. We’re going to give it all back to Cenla. Whatever we can do to help Cenla, to make it a better place and become more unified, we’re willing to make sacrifices and do that.”
Williams Jr. states that his Catholic faith has impacted his journey and vision to start this non-profit. “My mother was a Catholic and my father was Baptist. My Catholic faith has impacted me through the Word of God which has encouraged me to give back to the community as a whole. The Bible teaches us that a person’s past is their greatest asset because someone can witness that a person went through something and they can make it through the situation too.”
“We make people feel a part of the process, and not apart from it. When I founded this organization I kept asking myself: Why can’t we feed the hungry? Why can’t we help clothe those in need. We deliver services and meals for the elderly. We are working to unify and build our community and provide services that make a difference in people’s lives. I look around myself and ask: How can I make a difference? I grew up in this neighborhood. What can we do to revive this community through the power of the Word of God. I believe it can happen.”
