About HOPE Sunday

Empower Tusc Coalition (formerly the Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition) and the Tuscarawas County Council for Church and Community (T4C) is partnering again with local churches across denominations to bring hope to communities impacted by issues around drug addiction.
On Sunday, September 22, all Tuscarawas and Carroll County churches are invited to participate in Hope Sunday. It is an opportunity to create awareness around substance use prevention, treatment and recovery in our local communities, and an opportunity to acknowledge the vital role that local churches and community members can play in bringing hope and light to those touched by substance use addiction.
Last year’s event included participation from 100+ churches across Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties. The testimony emphasizes the importance of community support and the overarching theme of hope!
Jodi Salvo, Coordinator of Empower Tusc, encourages our local churches to participate in Hope Sunday. This is an opportunity for the church to become better equipped around the area of drug addiction and recovery. “We want each and every person in our county to know there is help and hope when facing substance use addiction and recovery,” says Salvo. “Our community churches are a place where persons can go to find love and support.”
