The organization expressed gratitude for the volunteers, people in recovery and recovery allies, brother and sister programs, community partners, lawmakers, and of course family and friends that made the opening possible and successful.

Hive of Hope started as an idea, and has transformed into a mission, an expression of love, and a resource for those who seek a fulfilled life in sobriety, as well as those who wish to give back and help others in living their best sober lives. This is only the beginning and they look forward to a great 2023 and beyond!
