After the rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to generosity—a day where people all over the world pause to give back and make a real difference.

At Hope Center Ministries, every dollar given helps men and women break free from addiction and step into a brand-new life. Your generosity directly supports real stories of restoration:

✔️ Families reunited
✔️Lives surrendered to Christ
✔️ Baptisms and transformation
✔️ New centers opening to reach more people
✔️ Graduates stepping into sober, purpose-filled futures

Why give on Giving Tuesday?
Because your gift becomes part of someone’s redemption story.
Because hope is needed more than ever.
Because your generosity creates room for men and women to encounter Jesus and experience lasting sobriety.

This Giving Tuesday, you can help someone take their first step toward freedom.

Give hope. Give freedom. Give life.

🚨 Xylazine Awareness
Xylazine — also known as “tranq” or “zombie drug” — is a veterinary tranquilizer not approved for human use. It’s increasingly being found mixed with opioids like fentanyl, creating a deadly combination that is devastating communities across the nation.

Those using illegal drugs may not even know xylazine is present, yet exposure can lead to severe wounds, necrosis, or death. Naloxone (Narcan) may not reverse xylazine’s effects, but it should still be administered if an opioid overdose is suspected.

DEA Warns of Threat Posed by Nitazenes and Bromazolam

DEA warns the public about an emerging threat posed by nitazenes and bromazolam in illicit drugs entering the U.S.

Nitazenes are synthetic opioids similar to fentanyl but can match or surpass the potency of fentanyl. Bromazolam is most commonly used as an active ingredient in counterfeit Xanax tablets.

Read more about the two substances in the following DEA releases (delayed distribution due to the federal government shutdown):
