HOPE Drop-In Center

We are a place that serves the community as a refuge without stigma, where you come to relax and grow in your mental health recovery.

The H.O.P.E Drop-In Center supports people with mental health problems, substance abuse issues, and homelessness. We welcome those who struggle with mental health to come talk to people here. We will help connect people abusing drugs and alcohol with the help they need, and homeless people can come in to get out of the cold or eat. The center has games, an arts and crafts room, a laundry station, and clothes. Come stop by and say hi to Pam.
