HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND - JUNE 21: A thrift store is operated by the Hope Center on June 21, 2022 in Hagerstown, Maryland. The Hope Center, which has been assisting homeless and addicted men and women in the Hagerstown community since 1955, continues to see a steady stream of people in need. Hagerstown, like many rural communities in America, has witnessed a surge in addiction caused by economic hardship and a rise in the use of opioids and fentanyl. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Overdose Prevention Strategy recently announced the availability of $10 million in substance grant funding for rural communities. The Hope Center serves over 3000 meals a month three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
