Community Impact
Hope & Grit has always been about more than individual change.
It’s about what happens when people come together — when healing moves outward and starts to ripple.
Some of that looks like events.
Some of it looks like shared meals, warm socks, quiet conversations, and showing up when it would be easier not to.
These moments aren’t side projects.
They’re part of the work.
This is where we capture the ways our community has come together to support recovery, dignity, and connection — in Tacoma and beyond.
Punk Walk & Roll 5K – 2025 Recap
On September 6, we gathered at Vassault Park with 37 walkers, gallons of coffee, and a whole lot of heart — and together we raised $1,005 for the Tacoma Recovery Center.
This first “FAIL Edition” (First Attempt In Learning) was scrappy and imperfect — and it was exactly what we needed to take the first step toward our bigger vision: making treatment and wraparound recovery supports more accessible here in Tacoma.
September is National Recovery Month, and this event was our way to:
🎶 Raise awareness
💰 Raise some cash
❤️🔥 Rally our community around hope and healing
Thank you to everyone who showed up and walked with us! We’re already dreaming bigger for 2026 — stay tuned.
