Since our founding, The Dive Savannah has helped more than 500 individuals enter inpatient rehabilitation and receive critical mental health, physical, and addiction recovery services. We have also reunited over 1,000 families across the country and four international families — restoring hope, dignity, and connection where it was once lost. What makes this work even more meaningful is how it’s sustained. The Dive Savannah is not government funded. Instead, we earn the majority of our support through our weeknight meals for busy families and our catering services—allowing every act of service to be earned through excellence and directly fueled by community participation. Along the way, we have been honored with numerous awards and have broken several records—yet our greatest achievement will always be the life we live here in Savannah and lives changed and the people brought home. We invite you to celebrate with us, reflect on all that has been accomplished, and look ahead to what is to come. All are welcome! Come as you are!
