Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
Welcome to the second annual West Virginia Day of Hope: A Celebration of Prevention and Recovery, sponsored by the West Virginia Council of Churches, the Community Impact Coalition, and prevention organizations across West Virginia. In the past year, the support of the faith community for the Day of Hope has renewed our determination to reduce substance abuse in our state.
Welcome to the second annual West Virginia Day of Hope: A Celebration of Prevention and Recovery, sponsored by the West Virginia Council of Churches, the Community Impact Coalition, and prevention organizations across West Virginia. In the past year, the support of the faith community for the Day of Hope has renewed our determination to reduce substance abuse in our state.
West Virginians extended a call for help to the faith community and they were answered. The faith community took this responsibility upon their shoulders and reminded us of the most important ingredient for combating substance abuse: hope. As a result, faith communities promoted hope to those struggling with addiction, to those encouraging young people to embrace a drug-free life-style, and to those in recovery.

Your witness has assisted the community at large to become more aware of what is taking place within our society. Because of all of these positive outcomes, we invite you to participate in the West Virginia Day of Hope on September 18, 2016. It’s a gift that our congregations can offer to West Virginia. Your witness can assist families that are struggling with drugs, addiction, self-medication issues, and opioids. Your assistance can also empower young people to refrain from drug use. We are grateful for your response of love, compassion, and commitment!
