The Ocean Recovery Community Alliance (ORCA) is a service project of the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions through advocacy, education, and service. Since its founding in 1998, CCAR has worked to create a world where recovery is understood, embraced, and actively supported. Through its Recovery Community Centers across Connecticut, CCAR provides a variety of resources, including All-Recovery Meetings, recovery coaching, family support, and volunteer opportunities. By engaging individuals in meaningful activities, CCAR helps people find purpose, connection, and empowerment in their recovery journey.

 

As part of its commitment to service, CCAR launched the Ocean Recovery Community Alliance (ORCA) in the spring of 2020. ORCA was created to bring communities together in a shared mission of environmental stewardship, organizing beach cleanups and other conservation efforts that are open to everyone. By combining service with sustainability, ORCA provides an opportunity for individuals from all backgrounds to give back, protect natural spaces, and foster a sense of unity through action.
