It’s Hard to Ask for Help.
Maybe you don't know where to start. Maybe you've tried before and got lost in the system. Maybe you're tired of feeling judged or passed around.
We get it. It shouldn't be this hard.

RECOVERY EMERGES FROM HOPE
The belief that recovery is real provides the essential and motivating message of a better future – that people can and do overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them.
Love Overwhelming's relational service model allows staff and volunteers to develop a rapport with service recipients while assisting in meeting their immediate needs of Laundry.
Rapport turns to trust over time and leads to richer opportunities for engagement into:
- case management,
- supportive housing programs,
- employment development programs, and
- recovery services aimed at increasing self-sufficiency and decreasing dependence on the social service system.
