Walmart Inc. retail stores in Ocean and Monmouth counties recently gave $9,000 to Hope Sheds Light Inc., a Toms River-based, family-focused, nonprofit that works to help those impacted by substance abuse.

As part of the donation, HSL will visit six local Walmart locations to conduct on-site outreach events in its new mobile van, offering education, resources and support, according to the organization.

Pamela Capaci, chief executive officer of Hope Sheds Light, said, “We are passionate about helping anyone in need, and HOPE Sheds Light is here to provide those individuals and their families with the resources they need to find a hope for a future free from the confines of addiction.”

Founded 10 years ago when Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle against substance abuse, Hope Sheds Light aims to offer hope that recovery is possible, as well as address the stigma associated with substance use disorder.
