How Our Community Supports Fresh Start Recovery

At Fresh Start Recovery, our mission is driven by the belief that recovery is not just a personal journey but a shared one. The strength of our community lies in the support we give to one another, and this collective effort enables us to make a lasting impact. 
 
The success of Fresh Start Recovery is built on the contributions of time, resources, and unwavering commitment from people like you. Whether volunteering, offering professional expertise, donating essential resources, or simply providing a listening ear, every contribution strengthens our community. It brings us closer to our shared goal—a world where everyone has the support they need to recover and thrive. 
 
Fresh Start Recovery provides a safe space for recovery, fosters connections, and empowers individuals to rebuild their lives. We cannot do this work alone. We need your continued support to keep building a community where everyone has the opportunity for a fresh start. Every contribution ensures that our programs remain accessible, our support stays strong, and our community continues to grow. 
 
Together, we can create a future filled with hope, resilience, and shared success. 
We are grateful for your generosity, time, and belief in the power of community.

How You Can Help

 
Supporting Fresh Start Recovery is an opportunity to be part of a community that believes in the power of recovery. You may choose to make a financial donation to help fund our programs and services or support a capital campaign. Or you might contribute toiletries for our clients’ use. Every contribution plays a crucial role in providing a safe, supportive environment where people can reclaim their lives.
 

Program and Service Support: Fueling Recovery

 
Our programs and services are the heart of what we do. They provide the structure, guidance, and support necessary for individuals to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. Donations that support these programs and services allow us to continue offering a wide range of services, including counseling, group therapy, life skills training, vocational assistance, and aftercare programs. Your contributions directly enhance the quality and reach of these services, helping more people on their path to recovery.
 

Major Gifts to Capital Projects: Building a Future Together

 
For those who wish to make a more significant impact, major gifts to capital projects are vital to our long-term success. These contributions allow us to expand our facilities, upgrade our infrastructure, and invest in new projects that enhance the scope and effectiveness of our services. Whether it’s funding the purchase of a new vehicle to transport clients, contributing to the construction of new living quarters, or supporting a major renovation, these donations help us build a brighter future for our community.
 

Everyday Essentials: The Foundation of Care

 
Daily toiletries and basic necessities are more than just items—they are essential for maintaining dignity and comfort. Donations of these everyday essentials help us meet the immediate needs of our residents, ensuring they feel supported as they focus on their recovery journey. From toothbrushes and soap to socks and bedding, these contributions are vital in creating a home-like atmosphere where individuals can focus on healing.
 

Vehicles: Moving Recovery Forward

 
Transportation is a crucial element in our daily operations. From taking clients to medical appointments and job interviews to providing access to off-site therapy sessions, reliable vehicles are essential to our mission. Donations that help us maintain and expand our fleet ensure that we can continue to meet the diverse needs of our clients efficiently and safely.
