Community Support

David & Karen Della Penta

David and Karen believed in our mission since day one when Sober Sisters Recovery was still just a dream, and they continue to champion our cause today. Their support and generosity help to provide our women with a safe structured sober home.

From helping us furnish the house to sponsoring our annual golf scramble, David and Karen have helped us financially, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s difficult to put into words the level of support that David and Karen have provided over the years, working along side us to make this home a beautiful, blessed success.

Sober Sisters Recovery would like to extend our deepest gratitude to David & Karen Della Penta.

Kristen & Jeff Palleiko – Curio Museum Design

In 2019, when our old website went down, we googled local web developers and happened to call Jeff Palleiko. It was 10:30 on a Saturday night and he answered. Within minutes, Kristen and Jeff were both looking into the situation and trying to find a solution.

Within a day, our contact forms and donation links were working again. Within a week, we were up and running with a brand new, beautiful website. Sober Sisters Recovery is so grateful to Kristen and Jeff for all of their hard work in recovering, repairing, and redesigning our site. We especially want to thank Kristen for all of the attention and care that she put into this project to show the true essence of Sober Sisters at Malley Farm.
