ECCNA 2025 raises over $50,000 for addicts behind the walls


The East Coast Convention of Narcotics Anonymous (ECCNA) is held every summer, and it runs on a strict policy: after expenses are covered, every dollar raised goes to purchasing literature and supporting incarcerated addicts.

In 2025 the convention came to Florida, and the fellowship showed up. The literature drive raised more money than any ECCNA before it — over $50,000 dedicated to carrying the NA message into jails and prisons. Because the convention was hosted here, the bulk of that support went to Florida institutions.

Where it went

More than 100 individual packages of Fellowship-Approved NA literature — Basic Texts, informational pamphlets, step-working materials, in English and Spanish — were packed by volunteers and then mailed or hand-delivered to institutions across the state of Florida.

For an addict in a facility with no meeting, a Basic Text is often the first NA contact they ever have. Literature requests keep arriving every week through Hope Rises — and thanks to ECCNA 2025, the books keep shipping free.

What's next

The Corrections Workgroup is using the momentum to expand meeting coverage — you can watch that effort in real time on the Coverage Map, and if you have a year clean and a willingness to serve, we need you inside.
