Join us as a volunteer for the Gaston County Recovery Walk 2026! Volunteers help make this community event possible by assisting with event setup, registration, greeting participants, distributing materials, supporting vendors, guiding attendees, monitoring the walk route, and helping with event breakdown.

Whether you can give a few hours or the entire morning, your support helps create a welcoming environment that celebrates recovery, reduces stigma, and connects individuals and families to valuable community resources. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to serve and be part of a movement that promotes hope, healing, and recovery for all.

The Gaston County Recovery Walk is a community celebration of hope, healing, and recovery. We invite organizations, businesses, agencies, faith communities, and community partners to host a vendor table and connect with hundreds of attendees from across Gaston County and the surrounding region.

This event brings together individuals in recovery, family members, service providers, advocates, and community supporters to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and celebrate the power of recovery. Vendor tables provide an opportunity to share resources, promote services, engage with the community, and build meaningful connections with individuals and families seeking support.

Whether you provide behavioral health services, healthcare, housing assistance, employment resources, education, peer support, community programs, or other valuable services, we welcome your participation in helping create a stronger, healthier, and more recovery-friendly community.

Join us as we walk together to inspire hope, support recovery, and demonstrate that recovery is possible for everyone.

Vendor Benefits Include:

• Direct engagement with community members and service providers
• Opportunity to distribute educational materials and resources
• Networking with local organizations and stakeholders
• Recognition as a supporter of recovery and community wellness
