🌟 HOPE ON SULLIVANT | Saturday, July 11 | 5–8pm

Something powerful is happening on Sullivant Avenue!

Women who once walked these blocks in the darkest moments of their lives will lead a walk down Sullivant Ave - clean, sober, and living proof that change is real.

They will be joined by other men and women who were once trapped in addiction and criminal activity along this same corridor and who now chose a different life.

Together, they are taking back Sullivant.

This is not a protest or a political statement. This is a community saying loudly, visibly, and without apology that these streets do not have to define anyone's story. That recovery is possible. That Hope is real. That the west side of Columbus is worth fighting for.

In the last 12 months, 567 unique individuals left these streets to enter addiction treatment programs. Many of them walked Sullivant Ave. Some of them are leading this march.

Come witness it. Come celebrate it. Come be part of it.

📍 The Hope Resource Center | 496 S. Wheatland Ave
🕔 Saturday, July 11 | Cookout starts at 5:00pm | Walk starts at 6:00pm

Hosted by Hope Dealer Community
