ABOUT
The Sussex County Recovery Community Center is a safe place for members of the recovery community to connect with others and enhance their recovery. We support and promote all pathways of recovery, honoring the right of every individual to choose the path that best meets their own personal preferences, needs, and values. Our services are peer-driven and we value the contributions of volunteers.
Volunteering at the Recovery Community Center will give you the opportunity to be involved with the development of events and activities that support our local community.

We’re excited to highlight Danielle as our Volunteer of the month!
Danielle is a devoted holistic health coach who has generously shared her time and talents with our recovery community through hands-on cooking classes and goal-setting workshops that encourage hope, healing, and purpose. Her heart for helping others shines through everything she does.
Outside of volunteering Danielle is a proud mom of two, leads a health and wellness Bible study, and runs a faith-based fitness ministry. She also continues to serve her local church and finds joy in spending time outdoors.
Thank you, Danielle, for your passion, faith, and unwavering commitment to helping others heal and thrive!
