Dear LifeRing Friends, Collaborators, and Supporters,
As the year draws to a close and the Season of Giving begins, I want to reach out and share my immense gratitude for the hope and recovery we have built together. This year, the LifeRing community accomplished remarkable milestones, proving that recovery by choice truly is a global force.
Because of your commitment, LifeRing reached our highest membership numbers ever, with over 4,300 individuals participating weekly. This growth is a powerful testament to the need for secular, empowering, peer-to-peer support.
Our success in 2025 has shown that we are reaching more people than ever before:
Online Reach is Booming: We now support over 3,700 online meeting participants every week through a schedule of over 100 weekly online meetings. We are seeing a 10% uptick in unique monthly online meeting attendance year-over-year.
Local Meetings are Resurging: In-person connections are vital, and we are strengthening our local presence, adding 16 new meetings and increasing our total number of weekly local meetings by 25%.
Collaboration is Soaring: Our commitment to peer-driven growth is evident! The Winter 2025 Stakeholders Town Hall saw a remarkable 186% increase in attendance, with participants focusing their energy specifically on strengthening outreach and accelerating meeting growth across the network. This level of engagement clearly shows our community’s deep belief in our mission.
This incredible expansion is only possible because LifeRing is a 100% peer-run organization supported by individuals like you.
As we look toward 2026, your donation today is an investment in this continued momentum. It ensures we can recruit more convenors, expand our meeting schedules, and provide the operational backbone that keeps our life-saving resources accessible and free.
Thank you for supporting LifeRing’s mission with your generosity. With your help, we can keep widening the way to recovery for countless others.
With heartfelt thanks and wishes for a peaceful season,
Sue
Executive Director
LifeRing member and advocate since 2019
