We’re celebrating YOU today!

To everyone who donated, shared our posts, and encouraged friends and family to give, thank you. Your support helps make our work possible every day.

Why give to HopeSparks this Giving Tuesday?
Because when families are facing crisis, they deserve somewhere to turn.

Your gift tonight helps provide, behavioral health, family services, and basic needs to children and families in our community.

And today, your impact goes even further. A generous anonymous donor is matching all gifts up to $15,000, helping us reach our $20,000 Giving Tuesday goal.

If HopeSparks has touched your life, or if you believe every child deserves safety, stability, and hope, this is your moment to give.

This is from Mason's grandmother who is raising him and is part of our Relatives Raising Children program:

“You went above and beyond for our family. It’s been a long journey, but you never gave up on us. Thank you for being by my side every step of the way.”

All day long, your generosity is doubled thanks to a $15,000 anonymous family's matching gift.

Your gift helps grandparents and relatives who open their homes and hearts to raise the children in their care through our Relatives Raising Children program.

Together, we can unlock the full match and reach our goal!

On October 11, our community came together to celebrate HopeSparks 130th Anniversary Gala!

The room was abuzz with joy, hope, and connection as friends, partners, and supporters joined in an unforgettable evening of purpose and celebration.

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us, raised a paddle, sponsored, volunteered, donated, or cheered us on from afar. Your kindness and generosity made this milestone truly special and ensure that children and families in our community continue to feel supported and seen.

Because of you, we raised more than $400,000 to support HopeSparks programs for children and families!

If you couldn’t attend, or just want to keep the celebration going, there’s still time to make an impact. Every gift, big or small, helps families find hope, healing, and strength when they need it most.
