Initially, our shared experiences with addiction united us as The Hope Dealer Community. However, what truly solidifies our bond is our unwavering conviction in the existence of a solution. This shared belief has instilled hope within us, and we carry this message with us wherever we go. Hope is found here.

The Hope Gathering is a recovery-based, inclusive community that acts as a bridge between the streets and faith. We are a people who desire to work on our recovery while strengthening our relationship with our Higher Power. We work the Twelve Steps. All personal beliefs and values are welcome.

Join us every Wednesday at 6:30pm

Our August newsletter is out. I am the one that puts it together. I've read through it 30 times and I am still getting chills from reading Kim's Story of Hope.

We're kicking off a new program in August!
'Hope Inside' is a program for men and women who are incarcerated at the new Franklin County jail (New Jack). Participants can join our recovery meeting and find a bridge back into the community when they are released.

In our community - Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends - this is an experience you must not miss. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives.
