“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi

We are incredibly grateful to WTOC-TV for inviting Gardens of Hope RCO to be part of their Morning Break show. It was an honor to share about the heart behind our organization, the lives being impacted through recovery and youth services, and the exciting plans ahead for our commUNITY.

We were especially thankful for the opportunity to talk about our upcoming Gala on February 20. This event means so much to us because it helps fuel the youth services, peer support, and recovery programs that continue changing lives every day.

Thank you to WTOC for giving recovery a voice and for helping us spread hope across our region. And thank you to everyone who continues to stand with Gardens of Hope—your support truly makes a difference.

Huge shout out to our CommUNITY Liason Amy Cruz for lining this up!!

We’re the Gardens of Hope team—part peer support, part youth hype squad, part re-entry navigation system… and part transportation department too. If someone needs a ride to work, an appointment, a meeting, or a fresh start… chances are one of us has already grabbed the keys 🚗

Most days you’ll find us helping someone find a rehab, encouraging a young person, filling out forms, making connections, saying prayers, and reminding people that their story isn’t over. Today, we just paused long enough to prove we do, in fact, own nice clothes.

All jokes aside, it’s an honor to serve this commUNITY and walk alongside so many incredible people on their journey toward hope and healing. Thank you for believing in this mission as much as we do.

Now back to changing lives… and reheating our coffee for the third time ☕️
