⏳ JUST 2 HOURS LEFT TO GIVE ⏳

The Great Community Give ends at 8 PM, and there’s still time to support Strength In Peers!

At Strength In Peers, we walk alongside people as they rebuild their lives—offering support, connection, and real pathways forward.

Your gift helps cover critical needs that grants don’t fund, including:
• IDs and birth certificates for jobs and housing
• Food pantry and outreach essentials
• Support with Recovery Home program fees

These are the barriers that can stand in the way—and the supports that help people move forward.

There’s still time to be part of something meaningful today.

👉 Give before 8 PM:

Real support. Real recovery. Real change.

All groups are led by peers in recovery who bring lived experience, understanding, and hope.

Whether you’re looking for connection, encouragement, coping tools, or opportunities to support your overall health and wellness, there is a group for you. Our weekly offerings include a variety of groups that support emotional well-being, recovery, and physical and mental health — including movement-based and mindfulness groups.

The Lion's PRIDE (Peer Recovery Internship for Development & Empowerment) team was at it again this week, focused on creating events for Strength In Peers' Recovery & Respite Home participants.

These well-planned events brought social connectivity and rich recovery conversation while reinforcing the importance of organizational skills and team building. Way to go interns! ❤️❤️❤️

📅 Next Wednesday — April 22!

The Great Community Give is almost here, and we hope you’ll keep Strength In Peers on your radar.

Recovery is real—and so is the impact of peer support. Our team has lived it, and we’re here every day helping others move forward.

During this one-day event (6 AM – 8 PM), we’re raising funds for the things our grants don’t cover, like:
• IDs and birth certificates for job and housing applications
• Food pantry and outreach essentials
• Support with Recovery Home program fees when someone needs a hand

These are the small things that make a big difference in someone’s recovery journey.

🗓️ Make a plan to give on April 22 and help us continue this work.
