Hope For Youth

Hope for the Holidays 2024

Our Hope for the Holidays campaign brings the joy of the season to over 200 youth served by our programs each year. With heartfelt support from our community, we’re able to provide holiday gifts solely through generous donations. Every contribution helps create a memorable and meaningful holiday experience for the children and teens in our care. Join us in spreading hope and joy this holiday season!

Ways To Give

  • Host A Gift Card Drive– Help make the season special for our teens by hosting a holiday gift card drive! By rallying your friends, family, and colleagues through your social networks, you can make a meaningful difference. We love providing teens with gift cards during the holidays because it gives them the empowering experience of choosing their own gifts, fostering a sense of independence and joy. Gift cards also give our youth the opportunity to shop alongside friends or family, creating cherished memories and building confidence.
