Mission

At Gardens of Hope ARSC, we cultivate a nurturing environment where hope blossoms and lives flourish. Our organization stands as a beacon of support, offering compassionate peer assistance and dedicated resources for individuals navigating the challenging journey of overcoming drug addiction. Rooted in empathy and understanding, we foster a community where individuals find solace, strength, and guidance. Through our diverse range of programs and initiatives, we aim to sow the seeds of recovery, providing a safe haven where individuals can grow, heal, and thrive. At Gardens of Hope ARSC, we believe in the transformative power of support, walking alongside each other on the path to a brighter, addiction-free future.

  • In 2024, Gardens of Hope provided direct services within the RCO to 1,104 peers, with a total of 13, 155 interactions. 270 boxes of Narcan were distributed into the community. 636 Recovery meetings were held at the RCO. 3,057 additional individuals were served through outreach events in the community. Peers participated in our work life program, helping them meet their employment needs from gaining IDs to building resumes and interview training, for a total of 326 interactions. 552 community service hours were fulfilled by our peers at the RCO (a community service approved site). Major projects for 2024 include restoring the Historic Lyons Garden Club- future permanent site of the RCO- last year's gala fundraiser raised over $36,000 toward restoration expenses and RCO outreach efforts. Gardens of Hope was awarded 2 local grants this year in addition to the state contract with DBHDD. The $5,000 Ag South Grant provided us with the materials needed to build 2 cyprus raised beds and plant our first crops. The food harvested from each season's crops will be donated to the food bank next door, providing food resources to the community. In December, we were awarded $50,000 by the Meadows New Foundation for the 2025 year to provide on- call peer support to individuals identified with substance use disorder, as well as sponsorships for peers seeking various levels of treatment and temporary emergency housing.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
