Michelle Sandberg, the Executive Director of the Hope Council in Kenosha, Wisconsin, discusses their second annual, “Light Up the Longest Night” event, remembering those who are suffering from or who have succumbed to addiction as well as honoring those in recovery. Michelle also talks about the challenges that organizations like the Hope Council face and the many programs they offer to help and heal local communities.
