Service in Unity

Positively impacting the community by offering opportunities to be of value.

Service in Unity LLC (SIU) is a startup business that provides services to nonprofit and small organizations while hiring people in all forms of recovery. Our goal is to create a positive impact on society by providing much-needed services to organizations focused on our community while providing employment opportunities to individuals who are in all forms of recovery.

When a big project arrives, the excitement is real. The funding is secured, the furniture is ordered, the vision is coming to life, and then the boxes show up, and you realize just how much work stands between “delivered” and “ready to use.”

That’s where Service in Unity steps in.

Recently, our team spent several days at the new building of one of our long-time partners, assembling furniture, setting up workspaces, and handling the mountain of packaging that comes with a full office build‑out. It was meaningful work in support of an organization preparing to serve our community in powerful ways and exactly the kind of project where Service in Unity shines.

We are your extra set of hands. When a big job comes up, we bring the people, the energy, and the follow‑through to get it done. From furniture assembly to cleanup, our teams make sure your space is ready for what comes next.

We’re starting March by celebrating a milestone that reflects the heart of our mission: in February, SIU officially crossed 1,500 hours of work completed by people in all forms of recovery. These hours represent far more than time on the clock — they reflect opportunities for individuals to find value outside of themselves through supportive, meaningful employment. Work that builds structure, confidence, purpose, and a renewed sense of contribution.
It’s also 1,500 hours of service poured directly into our shared community. Every shift strengthens local spaces, supports our staffing partners, and helps meet real needs across Central NY. This milestone shows the dual power of recovery‑powered employment: it uplifts individuals while strengthening the community around them.

Every story reminds us why this work matters. Today, we are sharing the story of one of our participant staff members, someone we are grateful to have as part of our unity every day.
One of our team members, whom we will call Alex, is a devoted father of toddler twin boys. One of his sons has ongoing medical needs that require frequent trips to a hospital several hours away and long stays. Alex is relatively new in recovery and has worked hard to rebuild himself, his life, and his family. For him, last-minute rides to the hospital are not rare. They are part of his reality as a parent doing everything he can for his children.
Many people know what it feels like to be forced to choose between work and family, but that pressure is often heavier for someone returning to the workforce from any form of recovery. For many, past work experiences have taught them that choosing family too often means losing their job. When someone has never experienced a healthy work culture, stability can feel fragile and conditional. At Service in Unity, we work intentionally to break that pattern. Our participant staff never risk their job for making the right choice, and we are always the voice encouraging them to put family first when it matters most. That is what allows Alex to focus on what truly matters, making sure his kids have a father in their lives.

Today, we’re recognizing McGraw House, a partner who trusts our team to support their dining program by providing reliable wait‑staff for a shift that’s often difficult to fill. This work not only meets an important need, but it also gives our staff the chance to build steady routines, connect with residents, and grow in a supportive environment. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve McGraw House and to contribute to the sense of community they create every day.

This week, we’re recognizing PROS, our staffing partner who helps connect individuals to Service in Unity and begin their employment journey with us. Their referrals open the door for our team members to step into meaningful work, build confidence, and create steady routines that support their growth. We’re grateful to support the meaningful work PROs does to help individuals navigate recovery and build toward stability and purpose. Their commitment to whole‑person progress strengthens our community, and we’re honored to walk alongside them in that mission.

Today, we’re celebrating our partnership with Alternatives Federal Credit Union . This relationship allows our team to provide cleaning services that keep their space welcoming for every member who walks through the door. It’s work that often goes unseen, but it creates meaningful structure, confidence, and income for our staff member as they grow. Alternatives works hard to promote economic justice in our communities, and our staff member gets the opportunity to be a part of that mission, creating a truly meaningful work experience. We’re grateful for the trust Alternatives Credit Union places in us and for the opportunity to do work that supports both their mission and ours.

This February, we’re celebrating the heart of Service in Unity — our community. Every hour served, every partnership formed, every neighbor supported reminds us what’s possible when we show up for one another. Here’s to a month of gratitude, connection, and collective impact.

Recovery isn’t a single moment — it’s movement.

It’s showing up for a shift, learning a new task, helping a neighbor, or taking on a project that once felt out of reach. Every hour delivered this month reflects someone choosing forward motion.
Our Recovery Workforce has been in motion all January:
• Providing reliable staffing to community organizations
• Building confidence, structure, and momentum through meaningful work
• Taking steady steps toward long‑term stability
When opportunity meets determination, motion becomes progress — and progress becomes possibility.

- Moving furniture or other heavy items
- Rearranging a room
- Light home or office tasks
- Cleaning Projects
- Quick projects you can’t tackle alone

🎉 We’re kicking off 2026 with bold goals, clear direction, and a commitment to building even more opportunities for people in all forms of recovery.
In 2025, Service in Unity quadrupled the number of service hours we delivered to the community—and we hit every benchmark we set for the year. Now, with that momentum behind us, we’re setting the bar even higher. In 2026, we’re doubling our service hours again as we expand our reach and deepen our impact across Central NY.
Every hour we deliver is more than a number—it’s a step in someone’s recovery journey, a moment of stability, confidence, and growth.

Here’s what we’re building together this year:
- 24 people will take their first steps back into employment through Service in Unity
- We’ll support 15 new organizations with needed staff and essential services
- We’ll expand our Staffing Partner Network with 4 new partners
- We’ll continue to grow our service area to meet rising community need
- We will bring $50,000 in all‑new funding sources directly into Recovery Workforce Development
