Who We Are…

Where healing happens together.

North Central Washington Peer Connection (NCWPC) is a non-profit located at 727 W. Broadway Moses Lake, WA. 98823. NCWPC exists to make sure no one has to navigate recovery alone. We are a peer-run Recovery Community Organization — which means our services are led by people who have walked their own path through recovery and understand the courage it takes to start again.

We believe that recovery isn’t just about surviving — it’s about rebuilding, reconnecting, and rediscovering joy. At NCWPC, you’ll find a safe, welcoming space to:

✨ Build meaningful connections with others who understand
✨ Learn practical life skills and access community resources
✨ Express yourself creatively and explore new interests
✨ Gain confidence and celebrate personal growth
✨ Be accepted and supported without judgment

Our team offers peer support services, recovery-centered groups, connection to resources, and community activities designed to empower individuals and families. We partner with local organizations to remove barriers, fill gaps in services, and create new opportunities for healing in Grant County and surrounding areas.

Every person who walks through our doors brings value, strength, and a story worth honoring. Whether you are just beginning your recovery journey or continuing a lifelong commitment to wellness — you belong here. Together, we build a community where hope grows, stigma fades, and lives are transformed.

Led by lived experience. Rooted in community. Driven by hope.
