The Recovery & Community Support Initiative is a year-round effort by Sand Stew Inc. to provide practical assistance to sober living homes, halfway houses, and recovery programs in need. Funded through donations, fundraising efforts, and proceeds from Sober in the Sun, this initiative allows us to respond directly to real-world needs within the recovery community — helping remove barriers, restore dignity, and strengthen the path forward.
In the past, we have provided winter jackets, hats, and gloves for residents. We have also supplied new bedding including sheets and blankets to improve comfort and dignity within residential settings. Every effort is focused on removing barriers, restoring dignity, and strengthening the path forward in recovery.
If your program is in need of assistance, we invite you to submit a request for support by completing the application below. All applications are reviewed at our monthly Board of Directors meeting, and you will be notified following the Board’s decision.
Sand Stew Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Your contribution directly supports sober living homes, halfway houses, and recovery programs in need. Every gift helps remove barriers, restore dignity, and strengthen recovery in our community.

"I just want to share a little about how Sand Stew has made a huge difference in my program. I work in a program called My Sisters house, it’s a half way house for women with addiction and mental health issues, a lot of of them come in from the streets and they don’t have anything. I reached out asking for winter coats and Sand Stew purchased winter coats for all 27 women in my program! They were all extremely grateful they were able to have a warm coat to wear! Thank you so much!
