Our team of volunteers, headed by Maggie Fleitman, is dedicated to aiding those affected by Substance Abuse, for family members, friends, or those in recovery.
Members on the Executive Board of Solace for Hope have lost a loved one due to Substance Abuse in most cases.
Our History
Solace For Hope™ was started in 2012 under its original name “Solace” when founder Maggie Fleitman sought out help to cope with the loss of her oldest son Mitch at the age of 22 due to an overdose.
Since then thousands of family members, and those in recovery or seeking support have attended a Solace meeting or event.
Since 2019 our cause was officially made a 501(3)(c) charity and its name was changed to Solace For Hope™ to better describe its meaning and function as an ongoing support group.
