Communities we serve
Donations will be used at the foundation's discretion to support our charitable mission and holiday relief efforts, including food, coats, supplies, transportation, and other related community needs.
Secure donations processed by Zeffy — 100% goes to the project.
A real home, not a facility.
This is where the work happens — shared meals in the kitchen, evenings together in the living room, and a bedroom someone can finally call their own. Recovery takes root in ordinary places that feel safe.
Beds open up — and fill quickly.
If you or someone you love needs a place to land, reach out today. We'll tell you honestly what's available right now.
We go to where people are.
Recovery doesn't start in an office. It starts on a sidewalk, at a bus stop, in a parking lot at 7am. Our team shows up with hot food, blessing bags, warm clothing, and something harder to find — a person who will look you in the eye and not walk away.
Street outreach
Regular rounds through the neighborhoods we serve, meeting people where they are.
Community distribution
Coordinated giveaways of food and supplies for anyone who shows up — no questions asked.
Blessing bags
Essential items and contact information, so help is one phone call away.
Hot meals, cold days
Through every season — because need doesn't pause for weather.
Know someone sleeping outside tonight?
Call us with a location and we'll follow up. You don't need to know their name.
Dignity first, always.
Every person who walks through our door is treated as a neighbor, not a case number.
Stability, dignity, and long-term sobriety.
New Leaf Recovery Foundation exists to support individuals and families impacted by addiction, homelessness, and mental health challenges. We believe recovery is possible for everyone — and that it becomes far more possible when someone has a bed, a support system, and a person in their corner.
Because we're community-funded, no one is turned away for inability to pay. Our door stays open.

Labor of Love Gala
You don't have to carry the referral alone.
If you're a hospital, treatment center, case manager, court, church, or community organization, we'll take it from here — with clear communication back to you at every stage.
- Same-day intake screening for urgent discharges
- Bed availability confirmed before you promise it
- Written updates on housing, support, and progress
- Placement coordinated directly with your facility
Tell us what's happening.
However you got here — for yourself, for a family member, or for someone you're trying to help — one message is enough to start. Everything you share stays confidential.
Your ticket opens two doors — a home, and a child's Christmas.
Proceeds from the Labor of Love Gala fund recovery housing for people who need a safe place to rebuild, and a holiday toy drive for the children affected by addiction. Join us, and every dollar goes toward both.
