Dinner for Hope

Annual Dinner for Hope Fundraising Event

Dinner for Hope is the signature annual fundraising event hosted by Steps to Recovery Homes, created to inspire hope, raise critical funds, and bring awareness to the ongoing addiction crisis affecting individuals and families across our community. This uplifting evening blends purpose with celebration, featuring a delicious meal, live entertainment, inspiring stories of recovery, raffles, auctions, and community connection.

Each year, this event brings together business leaders, local supporters, service providers, and families who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those battling substance use disorders. Proceeds from Dinner for Hope directly support the programs and services that empower our clients to find long-term recovery, stability, and purpose.

Who We Are

Steps to Recovery Homes

Since 2006, Steps to Recovery Homes has been a lifeline for men and women battling addiction in the Verde Valley. We provide structured sober living housing, individualized job development, and evidence-based therapy — giving each person the tools and community they need to rebuild their life.

We believe recovery is possible for anyone. Regardless of how far someone has fallen, we meet them where they are and walk alongside them — one step at a time.

Dinner for Hope is our annual celebration of the lives changed right here in our community — and an invitation for you to be part of the story.

The Need

Why Your Support Matters

Addiction affects everyone — our neighborhoods, our children, and our workforce. Your seat at this table changes lives.

Safe Housing

Many arrive homeless. Your support provides structured, sober housing — often the first stable home they've had in years.

Job Development

Employment is a cornerstone of lasting recovery. We connect residents with job skills training, placement, and employer partnerships.

Therapy & Counseling

Evidence-based therapy helps residents address root causes of addiction — trauma, mental health, and broken relationships.

Community

Isolation fuels addiction. Our community model surrounds residents with accountability, encouragement, and genuine human connection.

I came in with nothing — no money, no family, no hope. Steps to Recovery gave me a bed, a job, and people who believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. I've been sober two years now.

Attending Dinner for Hope last year changed our perspective. We saw firsthand what our sponsorship was doing — real faces, real families restored. We'll be back every year.
