welcome to homestead!

The Mediation & Restorative Justice Center

Thanks for celebrating with us at the 4th of July Parade! If you received a mint or a lifesaver from our team, you already know — you are MINT to make a difference.

At Homestead Recovery Center, we believe every person has the power to be a lifesaver in our community. Whether through small acts of kindness or larger commitments of time and resources, you can help create a world where recovery, compassion, and connection thrive.

Here’s how YOU can be a lifesaver:

Make a Donation – Your support helps us provide recovery housing, peer support, transportation, and harm reduction services. [Visit our Donate page or donate now through Venmo @mrjc-nc →]

Show Compassion – Treat people with kindness, especially those whose experiences differ from yours. Recovery starts with empathy and connection.

Talk About It – Break the stigma around substance use and mental health. Share stories of hope and healing.

Carry Naloxone – Learn how to reverse an overdose and keep naloxone on hand. [Learn more →]

Support Local Recovery – Attend our events, spread the word, and follow us on social media to stay involved.

Let’s keep the spirit of the parade going — together, we can build a community rooted in hope, dignity, and second chances.
