Carrying the Message

TLC Is a unique organization in that it is managed by clients who volunteer to help newcomers gain sobriety.

Clients who volunteer start out working in night security, maintenance, kitchen or other responsibilities. For their efforts they receive store credits, pocket money, and most important, the benefits of sobriety as they help newcomers through recovery issues.

Most of our corporate staff worked their way up through this system. One has been with us for 20 years. And several have been with us 10 to 15 years. And for all those years they’ve been enjoying lives free of drugs and alcohol.

Other volunteers work in our maintenance and business sections, operating the Inconvenience Stores, the Alhambra Hotel, or in construction or maintenance. These jobs let them work in a sober environment and carry the message to co-workers.

This project has operated without taxpayer support for the past twenty years while providing service to more than 300,000 clients in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico.
