Dandelions are signs of life again, and like the dandelion spreads its seeds, we spread our love from one to another.

Limited Edition Dandelion Stuffies

We’re so grateful to partner with our local friends at Make a Buddy, who created limited-edition Dandelion Project dandelion stuffies just for our community 

With a donation of $25 or more, you’ll receive one of these meaningful dandelions as our thank-you — a symbol of hope, remembrance, and healing.

A small gift with a big meaning — helping us plant seeds of hope, one dandelion at a time.
Hope you can hold. 

Donations are tax-deductible. To contribute, please contact us for payment details.  We accept Check, Cash App & PayPal

What We Offer

Faces of H.O.P.E. Banner Sets

Your story isn't over

YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER!

Two Banners. One Choice

 Always displayed together as a set, each banner holds 12 faces.
One remembers those we’ve lost, the other those in recovery.
For every face of loss, there is a face of recovery.
And one space—marked with a mirror—waits for you to see yourself as to see yourself as the next Face of H.O.P.E

Faces of H.O.P.E. Family Banners

BEHIND EVERY LOSS AND EVERY RECOVERY IS A FAMILY.

The Faces of H.O.P.E. Family Banners are a public awareness initiative of The Dandelion Project created to honor the families impacted by addiction, overdose, and mental health challenges. These banners recognize the parents, siblings, children, and loved ones whose lives are forever changed — and whose stories deserve to be seen and heard.

Family Banners are displayed alongside our Loss and Recovery banners to show the full picture:
loss, recovery, and the families at the heart of both.
Together, they help reduce stigma, encourage compassion, and remind our communities that no one walks this journey alone.
