“The agency was founded in 1968 as the Kenosha Council on Alcoholism. Today, 55 years later, our community is facing unprecedented substance use concerns.” Executive Director Michelle Sandberg said. “With the rise in overdoses and those seeking treatment for substance use disorders, our work is more important than ever before.”

The mission of the Hope Council is to reduce the impact of substance use disorders in our community by providing education, prevention, intervention, and referral services. Hope Council is hoping to raise funds to benefit ongoing family programing and youth outreach activities.
