About this Event
HopeWorx is celebrating its 30th birthday this year, and on June 24th, the date of our incorporation, we are going to host a party, at our neighbor Von C Brewing Company, featuring delicious food and drinks, some community awards, a look back at HopeWorx’ history, and an opportunity to win raffle baskets and to participate in our silent auction. We will be establishing awards that we intend to continue annually: Our first Peer Support Leader Award will honor Sandy Watson, the founder and former Executive Director of HopeWorx. Our Community Partner Award will honor Mark Boorse, from Access Services, who has served on the HopeWorx board and also has been a key partner in facilitating the building of peer teams at HopeWorx, including the beginning and development of our community center, CommunityWorx. We are also establishing a Hopeful Community Award, to honor a member of the Montgomery County community who has inspired us with their journey of recovery and resilience – this award will be chosen by the HopeWorx staff and board.
Please save the date of June 24th, and if you would like to support us in our celebration, I have attached a flyer inviting you to sponsor the party or take out an ad in our program.

In honor of our anniversary, the staff and board of HopeWorx worked together to create a new Vision, Mission and Statement of Values – I’m sharing this with you proudly, as I believe it truly reflects the unifying values that define our 30 years of community building, that will inform our next 30 years of growth.
“A radically accepting community. An open door when you are ready. The fervent belief that every person is the expert on their own journey.”
Mission
“HopeWorx crafts an intentional space where peer values and peer support are the essential fiber of our community. We walk alongside you, sharing our own stories of hope, to help you feel safe, seen, and heard.”
Our Values in Action
- People are the experts on themselves, empowered to use their voice.
- Centering peers in all our decisions with honest mutuality.
- There is no wrong door to walk through to ask for help.
- Withholding judgement. Listening with intention.
- Feeling safe and heard is only possible with trust.
- Nothing about us without us. We truly mean it. (Even when it’s uncomfortable.)
- Always remembering the power of hope.
