Spindletop's Hope Center reopens.
Spindletop Center announced the reopening of the Hope Center on Monday, Nov. 30.
Hope Center was closed due to flood damage during Tropical Storm Imelda. After being closed for over a year, Hope Center is reopening with fresh paint, new flooring and new furniture, Spindletop reports.
“Being able to reopen is a blessing,” said Garry Lewis, director of the Hope Center. “With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is facing challenges. It is a blessing for everyone to be back in this recovery-focused community.”
Hope Center is a peer-run facility offering support groups and activities to promote mental health and substance use disorder recovery and wellness. These activities include arts and crafts, goal setting sessions, lunches and daily group meetings with peer support specialists.
“We focus on health, wellness and recovery,” said Lewis. “It is a safe place where people can gather, share stories and discuss how they stay well in recovery.”
Hope Center accepts applications on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Community members interested in joining Hope Center should complete an application in-person at 2725 S. Eighth St. in Beaumont Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
