Ways to Give
We would not exist without the support from many generous community members who believe in our mission. If you feel led by the life change you see, we welcome your contribution and would love to partner with you.
Support Sober Events and Outreach 419
Sober Events is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking down stigma, building community, and offering hope to individuals and families impacted by addiction. Through our daily outreach center, Outreach 419, we provide a safe, welcoming space open 7 days a week, hosting recovery support groups, fun and engaging sober events, and volunteer opportunities that empower people to thrive in recovery.
Each week, we serve over 200 participants — offering homecooked meals, peer support, life skills development, and a thriving sober community that meets people wherever they are on their recovery journey.
Your support makes it possible to:
Keep our doors open and programs running 7 days a week.
Provide free meals, recovery groups, and community events.
Support participants with skill-building opportunities, transportation, and basic needs.
Grow a community where recovery is celebrated, stigma is broken, and hope is restored.
Every gift matters. Whether it's a one-time donation or a monthly commitment, your generosity directly fuels healing, connection, and second chances for so many.
🔵 Make a one-time or recurring donation today.
🔵 In-kind donations and sponsorships from local businesses are also welcome.
Together, we’re changing lives — one meal, one meeting, one meaningful connection at a time.
Thank you for being part of this mission! ❤️

Other Ways to support
Pop Cans
We continually collect pop cans and will gladly drive out to you to pick them up. All proceeds go directly into funding our Friday night events. Get those cans out of your house and put them to work making a difference in your community.
In-Kind Donations
As a 501c3 Charitable Organization, we can accept In-Kind Donations from individuals and businesses and would love to talk about a partnership. We work hard to make every dollar count and with your help we can go even further.
Leftovers?
Have extra household goods or leftover yard sale items? Donate them to Sober Events! We’re always looking for gently used items to redistribute to individuals in recovery who are setting up their apartments or homes. Your contributions go a long way in helping those in need create a safe, comfortable living space.
