JULY 2023 NEWSLETTER
First, a few words from our Executive Director
Hillsborough House of Hope began running in 2003.
With God's assistance, it expanded from one house to three houses, from three-woman residents to eleven.
As Executive Director, I have put in a lot of effort and have been fortunate to get help along the way from other devoted volunteers.
Our residents struggle with substance and alcohol addiction. Many come directly from being incarcerated. I am committed to keeping them safe, calming crisis, and helping them return to society.
They are introduced to Community Partners.
Our fantastic volunteers, sponsors, and contributors who enable me to do what I do are the reason we have such a high success rate and would not be where we are now.
Sheriff Henderson once told our founder, Mrs. Margaret Palmer,
"With the uniqueness of this program, if you save one you have done WELL"!
VOLUNTEER! DONATE! SPONSOR! JOIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS!
Sincerely,
Linda Walker
