Give the Gift of recovery

A fundraiser for Impact Life

$150 raised from 2 donors

$500 goal

Many of you know, that I began working with Impact Life late last year and have been thoroughly impressed by the work they are doing and the commitment of all involved.  This organization is unlike any other I have worked for.  It is a young organization that started as an idea in the founder's mind and operated out of her home for the first year.  It has grown exponentially, operating several locations throughout Delaware and serving over 16,000 individuals last year.  I had the privilege of visiting the women (and livestock) at the Farm in my first week, and they stole my heart.  They are strong and determined to make their recovery work.

If you can, please join me in supporting this amazing organization.  We all know someone who has been touched by addiction and know that without help many don't make it to recovery.  Every little bit counts.  Thanks in advance for your support.

About Impact Life

Mission: Impact Life is an innovative behavioral health organization whose mission is to build a solid foundation of recovery through unique recovery residences, peer support, workforce development, cultural and spiritual experiences, opportunities for peer leadership and service work projects for Delaware residents seeking help.

Impact Life offers peer-led recovery support services throughout the State of Delaware expanding through Cecil, and Harford County, in Maryland. In addition, we operate recovery residences independently, as well as in partnership with atTAcK addiction for those re-entering society post-residential treatment. We offer Outpatient therapy, Harm Reduction and Outreach services, a Workforce Development program featuring comprehensive recovery services, career development, expungement and pardon assistance, and peer support. In November of 2022, we launched Delaware’s first Recovery Farm, The Sanctuary at Impact Life Farm, which offers housing, case management, peer support, and animal-assisted therapy, coupled with a therapeutic agricultural workforce development program. We also operate a wellness and retreat center in Wilmington, and two resource centers, one in Glasgow, DE and one in Elsmere, DE.  Last year, we opened The Recovery Cafe in Wilmington, offering a healing and safe community for all who have been traumatized by addiction, mental health challenges, domestic violence, homelessness, and incarceration.  The Cafe provides resources and healthy relationships for stability and healing.  Impact Life staff are uniquely qualified to help our peers, over 90% of the staff have lived experiences and knowledge of addiction and recovery.  In 2024, Impact Life served 16,706 individuals through our programs.
