Recovery support · Pennsylvania

Home is not a place. It’s a feeling.

Heather’s Way helps people in early recovery stay sober and find that feeling of home — through scholarships and grants for sober living, education, work, and family support.

Our mission

Wherever you feel safe, supported, and welcome — you are home.

Heather’s Way is a nonprofit that confronts the disease of addiction. Our mission is to help individuals maintain sobriety and find the feeling of home during the recovery journey.

We support individuals and their families across every facet of early sobriety. We do this through grants and scholarships that create environments designed for success — whether someone is transitioning to life after rehab, entering the workforce, or still discovering what the way home looks like.

We hope you’ll join us in supporting individuals and families as they work through this disease.
