For over 12 years, Hope for Freedom Society has provided recovery services to persons suffering with drug and alcohol addiction. Its mission statement is to provided a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment for people seeking recovery from abusive and addictive lifestyles. Hope for Freedom Society works to enhance the faith, confidence and self-esteem of men and women overcoming drug and alcohol dependencies and facilitates their reintegration into communities.

Hope for Freedom is also a member of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group, and in the fall of 2007 spearheaded the first ever ‘Cold Wet Weather Mat’ program in Canada. This program provides overnight shelter to homeless persons in the Tri-Cities during the fall and winter months.
