Presented by Chris Harmon and The McMillen Family Foundation
The 2026 House of Hope Talent Show:
Dignity is restored, courage is shared, and recovery takes center stage
Why are we fundraising?
We are fundraising to complete the launch of MAT Detox. Our goal is to raise funds to recruit three new clinical staff members, train existing clinical and residential staff, and establish the MAT facility. Launching MAT in 2026 will complete House of Hope’s continuum of care. MAT improves retention, reduces overdose and mortality, stabilizes brain chemistry, and enhances social functioning, leading to better health outcomes and better support for co-occurring disorders. Your donation will save lives, reduce overdoses, and improve treatment outcomes.

I remember walking through the doors of House of Hope and feeling surrender and telling myself, whatever it takes, I’m going to do.
Nichole, House of Hope graduate
Don’t give up on your daughter. I got mine back.
Kristine (Nichole’s Mom)
If You Could Help Prevent a Relapse, Would You? Women stay in recovery at House of Hope because it feels like somewhere they belong. The walls are familiar. The faces are familiar. There’s structure, community, and room to breathe.
For a woman who has spent months or years just trying to survive, walking into that kind of environment can be the first time she feels safe enough to do the real work. That feeling of home is part of how recovery happens here.
