This isn't a program. It's people.
Donna doesn't talk about recovery from the outside.
Black Sheep was built on one belief: recovery works when people feel genuinely seen, supported, and never judged. Donna meets people where they actually are — sometimes straight out of a hospital bed, sometimes at the lowest point they've ever hit — and she doesn't sugarcoat it. She'll tell you how it is, then she'll walk it with you.
It's not a program you're processed through. It's Donna, Ron, Alicia, and Ryan — a small crew that answers the phone, shows up for lunch, and figures out a way forward when you can't see one yourself.
Meals they made. Paid for themselves.
Every Sunday, Donna, her daughter Alicia, and the small crew load up the bus and drive to the shelters — because that's where the people who need them most already are.
They hand out meals and drinks they bought and made themselves. No agency behind it. No grant paying for it yet. Just a table, coolers, and people who show up week after week because connection is the thing addiction takes first — and the thing recovery needs most.
Nobody gets processed. Nobody gets judged. You get a plate, a real conversation, and a crew with a do-whatever-it-takes attitude if you're ready to talk about getting out. That's it. That's the whole model. It works.
Her story — the war, the way back, and why she stayed to walk it with others — belongs right here, in her own voice. We're saving this spot for her.
You won't get a menu or a waitlist. You'll get a person who's been there.
