Colfax, California · Faith-based recovery

Most recovery programs treat the behavior. We treat the root.

A faith-based ministry for people facing addiction, homelessness, unemployment, and personal crisis in the Sierra foothills. We're raising funds for our first intake facility and building a team of volunteers to open it.

We're in our founding season.

Now Is the Day is not taking enrollments or intakes yet. Right now we're raising funds for an intake facility and recruiting the volunteers who will help us open it. If you or someone you love needs help today, call or text 988 for crisis support, or reach out to us and we'll help you find a program near you.

Our mission

To spark meaningful growth under the burden of purpose.

Addiction, homelessness and joblessness are usually where a deeper wound shows up, not where it starts. Now Is the Day works on what sits underneath: the abuse, trauma or loss that keeps the cycle going.

Guided by 23 core moral and biblical principles, woven through every day of our discipleship program, we walk with men and women through mentorship, practical help, hands-on workshops, and spiritual guidance rooted in Christ, so they can build disciplined, purposeful lives in their own communities.

What we're building

Four steps to opening our doors

  1. 1

    Federal tax-exempt recognition

    We have our EIN and a business bank account, and we're filing with the IRS for 501(c)(3) recognition.

    Under way
  2. 2

    A 15-passenger van

    Rides to meetings, appointments, job interviews and church are often the difference between a good week and a relapse.

    Next
  3. 3

    An intake facility

    A leased or owned home base where people can be received safely when they're ready to start.

    Planned
  4. 4

    Hands-on job training

    Real work alongside local contractors and businesses. Residents learn practical trades and skill sets, from construction and repair to landscaping and equipment, along with the work habits employers look for: showing up on time, teamwork, safety and pride in the job. The goal is simple: when they return to their communities, they come back with a trade, a work history, references, and a plan to stay out of the system for good.
