Review from one of our amazing volunteers:

I have been volunteering to help the local unhoused population over the past five years. Advocates Recovery Service has been an amazing asset for referrals to assist people in getting the help that they need to better their lives. They create a warm and supportive environment, truly care about their clients, and go above and beyond to help people every step of the way to regain their life and livelihood. They are professional, yet down to Earth, respectful of their clients, and treat everyone with the dignity and kindness they deserve. They are engaged in the community actively doing outreach, providing services such as food distribution events, training, and recognizing the success of others as they achieve their goals. I definitely recommend Advocates Recovery Services to anyone struggling with addiction looking to make a positive change in their life, or anyone who wants to support a friend or family member that is facing addiction.
