A HUGE THANK YOU FROM HOPE IN THE HILLS!!

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who came out and helped make Hope in the Hills such a successful and meaningful event. It truly took a community coming together, and seeing so many people show up to support recovery, harm reduction, education, prevention, and one another meant more than we can put into words.

A very special thank you to all of the amazing organizations, agencies, businesses, and community partners who participated and supported us:

Heavenly Treats • Equitas Health • The Recovery Council • Integrated Services for Behavioral Health • Cardinal Treatment Center • All The Things • Another Chance Ministry • The Jane Doe Foundation • Health Recovery Services • Jackson County P.O.R.T. • Care & Prevention Team • TASC of Southeast Ohio • Anchor Addiction and Wellness Center • Cairn Recovery Resources • The Counseling Center • Jackson Elks • Larry & Dora’s • Jackson Post Overdose Response Team • Molina Healthcare of Ohio – Medicaid • B&B Boutiques • Kettle Corn Kraze • SOAR Study • State of Ohio Adversity and Resilience (SOAR) Research

📻 A huge thank you to The Bull 97.3 FM for joining us, broadcasting from the event, doing interviews and giveaways, and helping us spread our message throughout the community!

And to the men and women who stood up and shared their lived experiences and stories—THANK YOU. ❤️ We know stepping outside of your comfort zone and speaking in front of others wasn’t easy. Be proud of where you are, what you’ve overcome, and how far you’ve come. Your story matters, and you never know whose life you may have touched by telling it.

Thank you to our vendors, volunteers, speakers, donors, community partners, and everyone who attended, donated, shared our posts, helped behind the scenes, or simply showed up to support someone. Every single one of you helped make Hope in the Hills possible.

This event was about more than one day. It was about hope, recovery, reducing stigma, remembering those we’ve lost, supporting those still struggling, and reminding people that help is available and recovery is possible.

💜 Thank you for believing in the mission of Hope in the Hills and for showing what can happen when a community comes together. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💜
