Options Partners with the Community to Celebrate National Recovery Month!
September is National Recovery Month, and each September Options partners with local churches, the Catholic Diocese of Oakland, and the Episcopal Impact Fund to highlight and appreciate the miracle of recovery. Please join with Options and our partners each September to celebrate with events such as:
- Options Home Improvement Campaign
Options and our partners call upon all our supporters to donate furniture in good condition to improve the recovery residences that provide safe and drug-free housing to our recovering clients.
- Options Call for Client Artwork
Recovering clients use visual arts to tell their stories. You can help support this effort by providing a home and showcase for these inspirational pieces.
- Options Graduation Celebrations
Options’ Zoom-based graduation ceremony will be broadcast on Facebook and Options’ website and archived for future viewing on Options’ YouTube channel. Options graduates tell their moving stories of transformation as they have pursued their sobriety and remained free of drugs and alcohol for over one full year!
- Partner Events
In the past, events have been planned at the Catholic Diocese of Oakland; Northbrae Community Church, Berkeley; St. Clement’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley; St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley; St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Oakland; and St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Danville. Events include Sunday Services with Options staff and clients and outdoor community outreach events. Whether via Zoom or in person, these events allow Options and our partner church congregations to get to know each other and celebrate the journey of recovery.
- Episcopal Impact Fund Night of Lights
The Episcopal Impact Fund is a major sponsor of Options and Options is often highlighted at its annual Night of Lights, scheduled each fall. Options partners and supporters are encouraged to participate in this extraordinary event.
- Options 30th Anniversary is coming up in 2027!
Options celebrated its 25th Anniversary in September of 2022 to highlight recovery. Please visit the Gala highlights HERE.
