Still Time for Joy

HOPE Sheds Light Helps People Struggling with Addiction at the New Jersey Shore

Sandra Levine Season 2 Episode 64

HOPE Sheds Light was born out of the tragic loss of three young men to addiction at the New Jersey Shore. The three families banded together to start a nonprofit that provides help and hope to people looking for answers and resources.

CEO Pam Capaci talks about the origins of the group, the need to reduce shame and stigma around addiction, and trends like "sober curious", that are gaining traction after research has shown that no amount of alcohol is safe.

Today, HOPE Sheds Light provides a 24/7 hotline (855-850-HOPE), a comprehensive resource guide, numerous support groups, and more.

The 12th Annual Celebration of HOPE Walk was held September 6th, 2025, in Seaside Heights, NJ, where people in recovery shared their inspiring stories, and numerous vendors provided information about their services.
