At Love and Respect Community for Recovery and Wellness, we believe that every person deserves the chance to heal—and that healing looks different in every community.

Take Marcus. He showed up at our door after nights on the street, carrying not just the weight of addiction, but years of being unseen by a system that never worked for him. What made him stay wasn’t paperwork or protocol—it was people. People who listened. People who looked like him. People who had been there.

Because we are Black-led and peer-driven, our team understands the unique challenges Black and brown communities face when navigating recovery and mental health. We don’t expect people to be “ready” before they get support. We meet them with love, respect, and dignity—wherever they are.

Marcus found more than services—he found community. Through our culturally-rooted programs, peer support, and wellness-centered outreach, he began to reclaim his story. Now, he’s not just surviving—he’s thriving.

We’ve walked alongside hundreds of community members like Marcus. But to keep showing up, we need you.

Your gift fuels healing. Your support powers justice.

Help us continue to build a community where recovery is real, wellness is accessible, and everyone is worthy.
