A Day of Service Can Create a World of Change

We are so excited for the third year of the Mobilize Recovery Day of Service!

Mobilize Recovery has brought together a national network of individuals whose lives have been touched by substance use and mental health challenges. Through collaboration with partners, we’ve proven that our shared efforts create a stronger, more united movement.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to uplifting grassroots initiatives and connecting them across the country, highlighting the strength of our collective impact. Now, let’s take that energy and focus it on creating meaningful change in our own neighborhoods!

How will you contribute to building a stronger, more connected community?

What is the Mobilize Recovery Day of Service?

The Mobilize Recovery Day of Service is a vibrant network of community-driven events taking place across the country during September and October. These events unite people in recovery and their allies to create lasting, positive change in their neighborhoods.

Substance use and mental health challenges touch every family and individual, often leaving deep impacts. But we’ve also witnessed the transformative power of recovery. While every recovery journey is unique, three pillars remain constant: Community. Collaboration. Connection.

Since 2019, Mobilize Recovery has brought together individuals in recovery and their allies to champion meaningful policy and raise awareness.

We’re calling on all partners—businesses, nonprofits, federal agencies, recovery groups, and more—to join us by hosting local events this September and October. Let’s work together to strengthen our communities and create a brighter future for all.

What Does a Day of Service Look Like?

Your Day of Service can be as small or large as you would like it to be! We encourage you to think outside the box and come up with something that you will enjoy and that will benefit others in your area.

Your event can look like any of the following: 

  • Creating a food or resource drive for a local organization in need 
  • Neighborhood or park cleanup for underserved areas
  • Volunteering at a local animal shelter (pets have played a major role in the recovery of many people!)
  • Reaching out to local schools and creating a school supply drive for teachers
  • Helping a local recovery organization with a supply drive of their biggest needs
  • Prevention or engagement event for youth in the community
  • Recovery-oriented walk, yoga class, skate, or other physical activity 
  • Raising awareness around substance use or mental health recovery
