House Boss Dave getting the gear ready for even more fun in our GBS camping program! 🛶🌲
Recovery is about more than staying sober—it’s about rebuilding connection, confidence and learning how to enjoy life again. We’re looking forward to more time outdoors, more laughs and more great memories together this summer.

We were grateful to play a small part in helping raise this beautiful pole for First United. Eight of our men volunteered to assist with the installation, and while we weren’t present for the unveiling, we’re proud to have contributed to something so meaningful for the community. Congratulations to everyone who helped bring it to life.

A little lake time, a lot of fellowship. 🌲

BEFORE & AFTER
A couple of months ago some gentleman from one of our Stage 2 houses decided to commit themselves to building a beautiful, pollinating flower garden.
Their efforts have paid off into this beautiful and useful garden. Just like our lives in recovery we can build something beautiful from nothing ❤️

Today we had the privilege of celebrating RayJay’s 23 years of sobriety with an AA meeting, food, fellowship, and community at Giving Back Society.
RayJay is not only celebrating another year clean and sober — he is the founder of Giving Back Society and a living example of what recovery, service, and unity can look like in action.
For 23 years, he has continued to show up, give back, and help create a place where men can rebuild their lives with structure, support, accountability, and hope. His example reminds us that recovery is not just about staying sober — it is about becoming useful, staying connected, and helping the next person find a way forward.
Today was a beautiful reminder that recovery is possible, community matters, and service keeps us growing.
Congratulations RayJay on 23 years. Thank you for everything you continue to give.
Unity. Service. Recovery.

Beautiful day at out 1st Stage Knight House.
Sunshine, the BBQ going, food on the table, and a few guys just hanging out together in the backyard. Nothing fancy — just one of those simple afternoons that reminds you how much a good meal and good company can matter in recovery.
Grateful for the little moments like this at Giving Back.

Clients at our Second Stage decided to spend time building and planting a new flower garden together — adding colour, care, and life to the space they call home.
Recovery is built in small moments like this: working side by side, creating something peaceful, and taking pride in the environment around us.
🌼 Giving Back. Growing together.

Meet Tango. 🐾
One of our quieter “staff members” at our second-stage Unity House.
He doesn’t run groups.
He doesn’t do intake.
He doesn’t miss a meal.
But he’s always around — helping make the house feel calm, steady, and safe.
At Giving Back, recovery is about more than structure.
It’s about feeling at home again.
LOVE • HONOUR • RESPECT
