About Us
Seeds of New Leaf is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization currently funded by a grant from Vital Strategies that strives to provide on-demand support and direct connection to all avenues of treatment and recovery for Substance Use Disorder and co-occurring mental illness, with our primary focus on underserved populations and communities.
Our vision is to create an equitable and accessible recovery community where all barriers have a breakaway.
Seed of New Leaf was founded by the daughters of Michael T. White. They grew up by his side, in the world of recovery. When Mike passed away in 2016, he was 20 years sober and continuing to impact the lives of others in our community, one recovery story at a time. Seeing firsthand how one man's recovery can change the lives of everyone around them, Seeds of New Leaf is a continuation of his work.
With love,
Mike's girls

Programs and Services
Treatment First
Having a safe and sober living arrangement is often a barrier to entering and remaining in treatment for many individuals. Seeds of New Leaf may provide rental assistance at approved recovery homes while clients are enrolled in an intensive outpatient treatment program for substance use disorders.
Car Care Packs
Currently entirely donation-based, our Car Care Packs are available to anyone in need that our Peers encounter in the community and may include anything from socks, underwear, and blankets, to basic hygiene and first aid items, hand warmers, water bottles, and anything in between!
Save the date for Give for Good!
Give for Good Louisville is our community’s largest day of online giving, bringing together nonprofits across Kentucky for 24 hours of generosity. It’s a chance for people like you to rally around causes you care about and make a real difference—right here at home.
For grassroots organizations like Seeds of New Leaf, individual donations aren’t just helpful—they’re vital. Many grants do not cover essential operational costs or emerging needs, and that’s where your support truly shines. Every gift you give during Give for Good goes directly toward keeping our programs strong, responsive, and ready to serve.
This year, we’re running two special campaigns:
-
Smooth Operator – Covering the behind-the-scenes costs that keep us running smoothly, from salaries to insurance to supplies.
-
Home Sweet Home – Helping us secure our very own office space so we can better organize, plan, and store vital supplies for the community.
You have the power to make an immediate impact. On Give for Good day, join us in breaking barriers to recovery—one donation at a time. Your generosity will help us keep the mission alive and thriving for those who need it most.
“Doing something for others without looking for something in return”
