Support HOPE (Homeless Organizing for Power & Equality), a grassroots organization whose membership is made up exclusively of men and women who have formerly or are currently experiencing homelessness.

HOPE members all have different experiences and circumstances that have lead them to the organization. No one person’s story is the same as another’s, but we are all united by our experience of homelessness and our passion for finding solutions to this systemic problem. As our President, Toni Whitfield has said, “HOPE is a rainbow,” a multitude of colors that, together, form something beautiful. Our members also boast a wide variety of skills and talents. This includes the arts. We have poets, story-tellers, painters, illustrators, jewelry makers, and to be sure, talents yet to be discovered.

10418201_574439802673577_5796683229836131686_n-1HOPE will be showcasing these talents at the HOPE Art Show, Friday, June 27th: from 6-9PM, at the KOART Gallery, downtown at 10 S. Main. Our members will have there work available for purchase and will be there to meet you and greet you. There will be Art, Music, and refreshments, as well as a special, limited edition, ‘HOPE-eweizen Brew’crafted by local brewer, Andrew Caldwell, with proceeds benefiting HOPE.
Please join us!
