International Overdose Awareness Day ‼️

Today, we remember the people we’ve lost to overdose and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by their loss.

The empty chair represents the space left behind, a mother, father, child, sibling, friend, coworker, or neighbor who should still be here.

But this chair also represents hope. Hope for recovery. Hope for healing. Hope for fewer empty chairs.

Today, we remember, honor, and stand with those affected by overdose. 💜

Time to Remember. Time to Act.

Update: We have 2 stoves being donated tomorrow!!! 🥳🥳🥳

We are currently helping several shelter clients transition into permanent housing, and we are in need of the following items:

2 Stoves
2 Refrigerators
Twin Mattress
Dryer

These items will help individuals and families move from our shelters into stable housing and begin their next chapter with the essentials they need.

If you have any of these items available to donate, or would like to help us purchase them, please contact our Program Director (Amanda Creech) or Social Worker (John Apol).
Every donation makes a direct impact on someone working hard to rebuild their life.

Thank you for supporting our mission and helping our neighbors move from homelessness to housing. 🏠

☀️ End of Summer Bash at Hope Station! 💦

Today was a special one. Our shelter residents, staff, their families, and volunteers all came together for an afternoon of food, laughter, and FUN! The water balloons and squirters were definitely a HUGE hit! 😂

Life can be hard. There are people who are carrying things no one else can see, and sometimes you just need a few hours to set it all down. Today, for a little while, everyone got to forget about the hard stuff and simply enjoy being together. And honestly? That was the best part.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated money, supplies, food, or anything else to help make today possible. Your generosity gave our residents something priceless: a day to just be kids, families, and friends. 🩵

What a beautiful day. What a beautiful community. 🥹

We’re incredibly grateful to the Healthcare Foundation of Wilson for investing in our “Eat Healthy, Move More” initiative through their Responsive Grant Program. 🩵

Because of their support, our clients didn’t just receive healthy food, they gained practical cooking skills, nutrition education, encouragement, and confidence to build healthier habits for themselves and their families.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us create a healthier Wilson community, one family at a time!

Today, we say thank you and see you later to our incredible summer intern, Rosa, on her last day at Hope Station! 💙

Through the Healthcare Foundation’s Interns for Impact program, we had the privilege of welcoming Rosa to our team this summer. During her time with us, she jumped in wherever she was needed from assisting in our food pantry and organizing donations to updating community resource information, supporting daily operations, and helping us better serve our neighbors experiencing homelessness and food insecurity.

Rosa’s positive attitude and compassionate heart made a meaningful impact on both our staff and the individuals we serve. We are so grateful for the time, energy, and dedication she brought to Hope Station.

A special thank you to the Healthcare Foundation of Wilson for making opportunities like this possible through the Interns for Impact program. Investing in future leaders while strengthening local nonprofits creates a lasting impact in our community.

Rosa, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for being part of the Hope Station family, you’ll always have a place here! 🩵
