nonprofit recovery resources

Non-Profit Recovery Resource Guide

At The Sober Curator, we believe in the power of giving. Whether it’s through volunteering your time, using your unique talents, or donating money, giving back to the community has numerous benefits. Not only does it make us better humans, but studies have shown that those who give are happier, have longer lifespans, and feel more connected to the world around them.

As Pablo Picasso famously said:

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

That’s where our non-profit recovery resource guide comes in. Created in partnership with our friends over at the Break Free Foundation, our comprehensive resource directory is a curated list of reputable, recovery-related organizations that are not only seeking donations and volunteers to help enhance our communities, but are here to assist anyone in need.

At The Sober Curator, we are always on the lookout for new opportunities to give back. If you have a favorite nonprofit organization related to recovery and mental health that you think we should feature, please don’t hesitate to contact us at thesobercurator@gmail.com.

Let’s work together to make a difference and spread kindness and generosity wherever we can.

For additional resources, we have compiled together a Alcohol and Substance Use Disorder Resource Guide, LGBTQ+ Recovery Resource Guide, and our Glossary of Addiction and Recovery Terms. We also have a section dedicated to recovery stories and our nonprofit partner, the Break Free Foundation, which provides support, awareness, and community.
