Shevlin Family Foundation

Addiction is a ‘Family’ Disease

In October 2015, Peggie and Paul Shevlin set up a public charity to assist individuals seeking recovery. With 3 of their 7 children in recovery – they knew personally the effects of substance use disorder. Grateful for their own children’s recovery, they felt called to specifically serve needy persons transitioning from treatment and the families who love them. Promoting hope for this particularly vulnerable population was their goal. Supporting their families was critical. 

Today, over 3500 individuals have become recipients of help and hope from the Shevlin Family Foundation – having received scholarships for housing, small grants for food, hygiene or clothing items, transportation or participated in our Journey program. 

Countless sober events and volunteer service projects have made an immense impact in our Delco community and beyond! We are grateful for the countless partnerships and collaborations that have organically connected our work to so many community members, non-profits, businesses and families! These relationships have made us all stronger!
