Our Kenai team has been all about the holiday spirit this month with a cookie decorating party, casserole contest, a socks swap, dancing to DJ Connor's holiday tunes, welcoming community members and friends from Frontier Community Services and Kenaitze Indian Tribe, and even an appearance from Santa and Mrs. Claus!

As many in our community celebrate Christmas, we want to wish everyone moments of magic and wonder throughout the holidays. May this season be merry and bright, filled with peace, joy, and meaningful time with the people and traditions that matter most to you.

Hope's main offices will be closed today in observance of Christmas and will re-open tomorrow at 8:00am.

Traditions are like tiny anchors in our lives, keeping us grounded and connected. In the middle of busy schedules and full calendars, remember there is power and magic in meaningful traditions. No pressure. No perfection. Just moments to look forward to.

"We help people identify healthy relationships and coach them if we see any red flags. In many ways, we are first responders. We do so many things to help them navigate the world and their own internal world.."

As a supporter of Hope, you help turn generosity into real change, and challenges into momentum.

Our 2025 Gratitude Report is your inside look at what your support has made possible in the past year. In it, you will find the names, faces, and stories behind the impact and the lives touched as a result of your involvement.

We invite you to set some time aside to explore the report and see the meaningful difference you're making. Hope rises because of you!

With the community's support, we reached our goal!

Thanks to the generosity of 31 incredible donors, every dollar has been matched—turning $12,000 into $24,000 to help make an accessible housing dream come true for families with loved ones who experience disabilities.

Your support will go toward the renovation of a Hope home in Anchorage, but it's even more than that—it will give people the gift of accessibility, independence, dignity, and having a place that's truly a home. A home built around a person’s needs means fewer daily barriers and more autonomy, less strain on families, lower fall risks, and more self-directed living.

We are so grateful to our matching donor and to each person who gave. Thank you for showing up with such generosity and heart. We are excited to share the impact your support will make!

As always, our recent Holiday Breakfast was full of holly, jolly, and joy—thanks to everyone who attended, as well as Hope’s Leadership Team, who prepared and served a truly special breakfast. We even had an appearance from Santa and Mrs. Clause!

🎵 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎵

Hope is excited to once again partner with Great Harvest Bread Co. Anchorage, AK to collect Angel Tree gifts for people who experience disabilities in our community.

Visit Great Harvest by Saturday, December 20 to donate a gift—plus enjoy one of their tasty treats while you’re there! Your generosity will help make sure no one misses out on the joy and magic of this holiday season.

Final day to double your impact!

We’re 80% of the way to our $12,000 goal—thanks to 28 generous donors—to make an accessible housing dream come true for families with loved ones who experience disabilities.

Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, all gifts donated by the end of the day today will be doubled up to $12,000, which would turn $12,000 into $24,000.

All gifts will support the renovation of a Hope home in Anchorage, but not only that—it will also give people the gift of dignity, independence, and the feeling of truly being at home. When a space is accessible, it opens so many doors to daily life that many of us take for granted. A home built around a person’s needs means fewer daily barriers and more autonomy. It eases strain on families, lowers fall risks, and supports more self-directed living.

Even $10 will bring us closer to our goal. Today's the final day to give: https://www.hopealaska.org/fundraising/forms/P7ENLPEG
