Testimonial from an RCC participant:

“The Recovery Community Center has helped me understand that my recovery has to be the first priority in my life. I spent almost every day in misery before the RCC helped me. Giving me a place where I can go to not only vent to people who understand my issues but to enjoy time with those same people in a clean sober environment. I am very thankful for my recovery coach and all the people that offer their help.”

Our annual Volunteer Celebration was an evening of gratitude, recognition and community as we honored the incredible volunteers who help make our Recovery Community Center thrive.

Throughout the evening, we recognized the many ways our volunteers give back, facilitating support meetings, event coordination, serving on our advisory board, and helping create a space grounded in and peer support. Their dedication strengthens not only the RCC, but the lives of those who come through our community on their recovery journeys.

It was inspiring to celebrate the people who embody the spirit of the RCC and whose service continues to inspire all of us.

Thank you to every volunteer for the time, compassion and passion you bring to the RCC. We are so grateful to celebrate your impact and look forward to continuing to grow together!

Thank you to the for giving us the space to recognize and celebrate our amazing volunteers!
