The Hope Dealer Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit recovery advocacy organization headquartered in Martinsburg, West Virginia. As a grassroots movement, we are changing how our community views addiction and recovery—one voice, one life at a time. We believe in ending the silence and ending the stigma.
We provide direct support to individuals struggling with addiction, including assistance with detox, residential treatment, sober living placement, and transportation to services when needed. Our programs also include clothing and hygiene outreach, funeral and cremation support for overdose loss, and community-wide education and awareness campaigns.
Thanks to nearly a decade of service, The Hope Dealer Project has grown to reach across all 55 counties in West Virginia through our flagship initiative, West Virginia Goes Purple, uniting communities in support of National Recovery Month and year-round advocacy.
We honor and recognize the foundational leadership of our former co-founders, Lisa Melcher and Tina Stride. Their dedication and compassion laid the groundwork for everything we do today—and we remain forever grateful for their legacy.
If you or someone you love is in the Eastern Panhandle and needs support, reach out to us at (844) 383-HOPE (4673). You are not alone.

The Hope Dealer Project is dedicated to raising the voices of people whose lives are affected by addiction. From direct outreach to civic and community engagement, we focus on centering recovery and engaging people in advocacy in a new, vital, and meaningful way. We can show people that life beyond addiction is full of possibilities when we work to get there together.
