About Us
Seeds of New Leaf is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization 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

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 or other qualified program for substance use disorders.
ROLLING RECOVERY AND OTHER SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.

Rolling Recovery has been the cornerstone of our work for more than three years, breaking the transportation barrier that keeps so many from accessing treatment and recovery options. Its client‑centered approach ensures that every person who steps into our van is met with dignity, respect, and a referral tailored to their unique needs. Our peers take the time to understand each individual’s circumstances, goals, and readiness for change, helping them navigate a system that can otherwise feel overwhelming or out of reach. By meeting people where they are, Rolling Recovery creates a first point of connection that can open the door to long‑term healing. 🚐✨
This moment is especially urgent for Seeds of New Leaf. In January, the nation watched as $2 billion in federal addiction and mental health grants were nearly eliminated — a decision reversed only after intense public pressure. But even with that reversal, the reality remains: federal cuts have already strained the field, and the threat of future reductions continues to destabilize organizations like ours. As public funding shrinks, nonprofits are forced to rely more heavily on private foundations, creating an extremely competitive landscape where small, grassroots organizations are often overlooked despite doing some of the most critical work.
Rolling Recovery has already felt the impact, with an immediate reduction in available funds that forced us to cut and suspend services. These are choices no community‑based program ever wants to make. That’s why we’re turning to supporters like you, who understand the importance of this mission and the people it serves. 💛
With your help, Seeds of New Leaf is strengthening a recovery landscape where every person has a fair chance to heal. Together, we are building a community where dignity leads the way and recovery is truly within reach. 🌱
