Thanks to You, The Hope Grows

As our commitment to helping more children affected by AIDS grows, so does our need for more space. Hope House has successfully completed a $1,000,000 expansion campaign entitled Build Some Hope!

Many wonderful donors helped make this dream a reality including a $250,000 gift from the Plough Foundation and a $250,000 gift from a generous anonymous donor. Construction is finally done! This space which is next door our original house will afford Hope House its first full service kitchen and double our enrollment to approximately 70 children total.

The opening in October, 2003 marked the culmination of a three-year capital campaign that helped to purchase the home next door and its refurbishment. You’ll be amazed at the transformation of this Midtown home into a quality day care facility.

The current Hope House will be utilized for infants and toddlers, and the newer home will be used for the older children, ages 3, 4, and 5. Some new features of the home include state-of-the-art playground equipment; Explorer computers which are specifically designed for children; and, a library/computer resource room where parents can access information about their disease, and learn computer basics for future employment. Please join us!

Hope House needs you to continue to make our mission a success. Here's how you can help!
