Outings & Community Events

At Project Heart, we believe recovery grows stronger when it’s supported by real-life connection, and that includes having fun together. Our community enjoys clean and sober outings that create space for laughter, friendship, and renewed confidence in everyday life. Whether someone is brand new to Project Heart or has been walking this path for a while, these gatherings help people feel welcomed, included, and part of something meaningful.

From BBQs at a local lake to fishing trips, hikes, camping weekends, and simple picnics in the sunshine, our events are designed to build healthy routines and positive memories. These experiences offer a safe way to reconnect with community, practice social skills, and reduce isolation without the pressure that can come with traditional social environments. Every outing is rooted in encouragement, respect, and the shared goal of building a stable, connected life.

We also come together as a Project Heart team for community service projects that allow members to give back while strengthening purpose and personal growth. Serving local residents, nonprofits, and community partners is more than just volunteering. It’s a chance to rebuild self-worth, develop practical skills, and take pride in making a difference. These outings and service opportunities are a powerful reminder that healing happens not only in meetings, but in everyday moments shared with people who truly understand.
