To all of you who joined us for “A Night In The Vineyard”, our annual benefit dinner and auction, our deepest thanks! We are still running the final numbers, but it is already clear that this event was a HUGE success!
Your contributions made Saturday night will have an immediate, direct impact on Hands4Hope and our youth. Your funds will support current you, as well as allow up to open up the program to new youth and new schools. More youth will have the opportunity to explore areas of need in their communities; create, develop, and implement projects that support their chosen causes; have opportunities and hands-on experience to act on their values and beliefs; all while, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
