Community, remembrance, recovery, hope.
Hope Council Events
Hope Council events bring Kenosha County together — to celebrate recovery, remember those we have lost, raise support for the work, and remind everyone that no one navigates this alone. Attend, sponsor, volunteer, or simply share an event with someone who needs it.
Signature events
Light a luminary, honor a life.
Light Up the Longest Night
Each December, on the longest night of the year, the community gathers to honor those who are struggling, remember those we have lost, and celebrate those living in recovery. Together, we offer hope, strength, and healing — one luminary at a time.
