HOPE 4 Youth

We are CLOSED on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th! We hope you all have a great holiday! We will be back to normal hours on Monday, December 2nd.????

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, we want to thank Emmanuel Christian Center for donating 40 Thanksgiving Boxes for our youth to enjoy! We are so grateful for their annual support during this season.???? A special thank you to the members of Emmanuel and local businesses for helping to fill these boxes with nonperishable items and gift cards to purchase perishable items to feed 4-5 individuals!

We want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to our community for coming together to support our Out of the Cold event! Whether you were a sponsor, made a monetary donation, went out in the cold, or donated highly needed items, we are so appreciative. Combining monetary gifts donated directly to our campaign and Give to the Max page, we exceeded our goal of $40,000! On top of this, we collected 1,385 LBS of food and 460 LBS of hygiene.???? Your generous gifts will be used to provide life-changing resources to young people in our community to end their experience with homelessness! ????

Thank you Archery Performance Academy for joining us last Saturday! Their team made hygiene, cleaning, laundry, and first aid kits, cooked 10 pans of enchiladas, and took a tour to learn more about our mission!

Thank you to the AMAZING team at Culligan for hosting multiple fundraisers this month to support our mission! Culligan hosted a community event at Heavy Rotation Brewery and an employee event at their facility. These events were filled with fun and raised over $5,000! The Culligan Team generously agreed to match all donations, that means their support to our mission will be over $10,000! We are so thankful for this partnership and for Culligan's continuous support of our mission. We want to extend a special thank you to Todd Burkstrand and Jolene Shasky for creating and planning these events, and to Scott Smith for sharing his brewery space!

Did you know we have an amazing volunteer, Angie, who is available once a month for our youth to get haircuts for free? Thank you, Angie, for donating your time and talent to support the youth walking through our doors! ????
