Since mid-March, Hope’s staff has been working from home. We are adjusting our work and overcoming the challenges presented, and though our work today looks much different than it has during our previous 42 years, we are still fulfilling our mission each day. We are highlighting our staff members so you can hear from us how we fulfill our mission in today’s world! You’ll hear what our work looks like, what challenges we’re overcoming, what updates we have, and our plans moving forward. Thank you for joining us!

Our 2019 Annual Report reflects on what can happen when dreams meet reality – when dreamers and doers align. Making dreams come to fruition requires concrete plans, follow through, patience, grit, and dedication. Hope Community has been comprised of leaders, staff, volunteers, and supporters who share those qualities; for decades, we’ve been working with community members and partners to make dreams become reality.

Together, we will keep dreaming and doing for the years to come.

We will keep fighting for justice and liberation, solidifying foundations for lasting placekeeping, establishing safe and healthy environments in our neighborhoods, and we will never stop listening to the voices of our community.

In gratitude,
Shannon Smith Jones,
Executive Director
