Support Mokena Fellowship Center • 7th Tradition and Charitable Giving

Our Contributions, Our Fellowship

We exist to protect an environment where group unity are always more important than individual egos—a place where we can truly put spiritual principles before personalities. While we proudly serve the recovery community, MFC is a separate entity and is not directly affiliated with A.A.


How Giving Works


"Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions." — A.A.'s 7th Tradition

To honor this tradition, individual A.A. groups accept contributions exclusively from active members. (The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. However, because MFC is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit facility, our doors stay open through support from everyone:


  • For Members: Your 7th Tradition donations directly fund the utilities and upkeep of the meeting rooms, availability of literature, and more. 
  • For the Community: Non-members, friends, and family are invited to make charitable, tax-deductible contributions directly to the center.


Whether you practice the 7th Tradition or make a charitable community gift, your generosity is vital to maintaining this dedicated space for recovery.

Every Gift Matters

Beyond the Fellowship and the Center

MFC is a building, but it's also a lifeline.


Every dollar from your 7th Tradition or community donations goes directly to work, covering crucial facility expenses such as utilities, mortgage, meeting room maintenance, literature availability, and accessibility improvements. 


By supporting the space, you ensure that our message remains available to the next person who walks through our doors seeking help.
