“Down with the Sickness” Annual Summer Picnic 2026

The “Down With The Sickness” Annual Summer Picnic is a full day built around recovery, connection, and community.

Whether you’re new to recovery, have years clean, support someone in recovery, or just want a safe and clean place to connect — this day is for you.

Every year, we come together to celebrate fellowship, hope, and the reminder that none of us have to do this alone.

No addict turned away.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Join us for:

* Free food
* Games & activities
* Music
* Fellowship
* Recovery community resources
* Family-friendly fun all day long

Come for an hour or stay the whole day — no pressure, just community.

WHY WE DO THIS

Recovery isn’t just about surviving — it’s about learning how to live.

This picnic exists to create a space where people can laugh, connect, feel accepted, and experience real community in a clean environment.

Because connection matters.

And everybody deserves a place where they belong.
