Churches + Schools + Families + Partners
"Sharing hope with the children who need it most, this is the heart of our organization. We meet more than the tangible needs of back to school, we partner with churches, schools, and community partners so our families become connected to the support and resources they need, and most of all… HOPE.” - Pam Hawn, Executive Director
Hope 4 Communities ensures that all children in need are prepared for school by initiating Days 4 Hope and coaching faith-based organizations to develop lasting, meaningful relationships with children and families. We build the strength of the relationship, provide tangible needs, create a net of support services year round that didn’t previously exist, and help to improve the family’s overall quality of life. We love to foster community involvement, give parents peace, and children hope!
