Sunrise Centre

As we approach Black Friday and the mad rush to buy things for others and snag good deals, I want to highlight the importance of embracing the giving spirit of the season.

We are approaching GivingTuesday a little differently this year since the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan isn't hosting it in the same way we've navigated years past. Sunrise Treatment and Recovery Centre has several ways that you can support our mission this season!!!

Here are some ways to support us and participate in GivingTuesday!

Grab a few extra items when out doing your Black Friday shopping and drop them off to Sunrise Centre as a donation to support our residents! We love to make sure they have meaningful goodies during the holiday season. Items to donate include:
1. Holiday cards so people can send cards to loved ones,
2. Warm cozy socks, hats, gloves,
3. Hygiene supplies (deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, soaps, hand lotions)
4. Cookie dough and decorating supplies for for holiday cookie making activities,
5. Stress balls, coloring or drawing supplies,
6. Christmas bags so we can fill them woth goodies for residents,

Or: Stop in and make a donation and we can purchase goodies for clients

Or: Make a donation to our Special Project fund at Community Foundation of Northeast Michigan cfnem.org

Or: Make a donation to our new facility project on our website at sunrisectr.org

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it’s important to remember that this season can bring both joy and challenge, especially for those navigating recovery. Holidays often stir up emotions, memories, expectations, and pressures that can feel heavy or overwhelming. It can also spark loneliness. If this is true for you, please know: you are not alone, and nothing about what you’re feeling is a setback or a failure. It’s human.

Recovery doesn’t take a holiday. It asks for presence, patience, and compassion especially toward yourself. If you need space, take it. If you need support, reach for it. If you need boundaries, set them firmly and without apology. Your wellbeing matters more than any tradition or expectation.

Celebrate your progress, whether it’s measured in months, days, or simply choosing today to stay grounded. Gratitude in recovery isn’t about pretending everything is perfect, it’s about acknowledging the strength it takes to keep going, the courage in the smallest choices, and the hope that continues to unfold as you heal.

If you or someone you love is walking the recovery path this holiday, may this season bring gentleness, connection, and reminders that you deserve care and peace. One moment, one breath, one step at a time you’re doing incredible work.

The Sunrise Treatment and Recovery Centre team is planning a free Holiday meal in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for an opportunity to connect and enjoy a meal with us!

We wish you a warm and safe and sober week!

Did you know that Sunrise Centre has a specialty fund account at Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan ? We do! It is a wonderful opportunity to make a donation to Sunrise Treatment and Recovery Centre to support our new facility project. CFNEM holds these funds in a special project account for us until our project can begin. It is an opportunity for people to make donations right from their retirement accounts (great tax break!!)!

If you are interested in supporting our nonprofit and would like to make your donation to our special project account at Community Foundation, you can contact them and they will help your transaction process smoothly! You will get a donation receipt for your taxes and it will make a huge difference in our efforts.

GivingTuesday is just around the corner! Help us help our community members have a safe, modern, connected Recovery Center to navigate their healing journeys.

What an amazing opportunity in our area. I highly recommend connecting with them and these supports.
