We had an incredible time at the APHA Conference this year — learning, connecting, and sharing the work we’re doing to advance health equity in DC.

Seeing our team speak, lead, and represent Community of Hope with so much passion was a reminder of why this work matters. Every conversation helps us strengthen the care we provide to the DC community.

We’re grateful for the chance to be part of a national movement pushing for better health outcomes.

Holiday Cheer is back!

The holidays are a time to give, connect, and lift each other up. You can help bring a little extra cheer to families and individuals experiencing homelessness this season with Community of Hope.

Your gift card donations make it possible for families to create their own traditions, choose what they need most, and celebrate in their own way.

This year, we’re hoping to reach 800 families, and we can’t do it without you. Join us to spread hope and share holiday cheer. Visit https://ow.ly/r2Mx50Xtcmr to learn how to give and get involved.

What a night to remember 💛

This year’s Night of Hope brought together friends, supporters, and community members to celebrate the power of hope and the people who make it possible every day.
From inspiring stories to moments of joy and connection, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we come together for one purpose: seeing families build stronger, healthier futures.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared generously, and continue to stand with us in bringing hope to our city.

This year, we’re proud to honor Vernon with the Tom Nees Award for Exceptional Service, recognizing his decades of service and his belief that hope begins when we care for each other. 💛

“With my condition, I always try to stay up on my medicine, but even when I’m starting to run low, I can depend on the team to send a message to remind me and get it to me when I need it." - Brian, Community of Hope patient

Three years ago, we opened our in-house pharmacy so our patients wouldn’t have to choose between time, cost, and care. For Brian, this change made all the difference. No more long lines. No more feeling like just another number. Just people who know him by name and help him manage his prescriptions.
