Founded in January 2021, Recovery All Ways (RAW) is a recovery-based agency with "Homebase" in the heart of Rochester's 14621 neighborhood, an area hard hit by the opioid crisis. Every Saturday from 9:30am to 2pm ? rain, snow or shine ?a dedicated team of volunteer staff offers health resources, a hot meal, bagged lunches, hygiene kits, blankets, and seasonal clothing for folks facing substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and/or are homeless. For those we serve, these things often go hand-in-hand.

We also go out into the community to make wellness checks on those living in abandoned homes, and to distribute bagged lunches, personal care kits, Narcan, 24/7/365 emergency hotline information, and clean up used needles in "hot zones" ? public spaces, parks, parking lots, and abandoned properties.

RAW strives to reduce stigma around substance use disorders and mental health challenges by offering education and training to other service-providing organizations, local government agencies ,schools, and other youth-focused groups.
