Christmas Open House

We had a wonderful Christmas Open House on Saturday, December 3rd. It was a great time for our guests, volunteers and board members to get together. We had some great discussions, gave tours of the Community Center, and even did some decorating – oh and we ate cookies too!

Amazon WishList

All non profits have a wish list right? Here is ours. Our cleaning team is looking for a new or lightly used shop vac (guys this is your chance to donate yours so you can get a bigger and better one!)

To make it easier to find out what we need we have updated our Amazon WishList to include the small ShopVac. Here's the link to our list! We are forever grateful for your generosity!

Community Center Staffing Help Needed!

Hello Hope Village friends!

We are looking for volunteers to spend time at our community center so our guests can use our showers, kitchen, and laundry facilities. Without your help, our guests cannot take advantage of these essential necessities. You can hang out and watch tv, read your emails, or do light cleaning if you wish.

Our greatest needs is to have a volunteer on site from 6am to 10am and 6pm to 10pm. If you can take a two hour block in this time it would be greatly appreciated!

Any questions can be directed to Nicole at 715.379.3189.

Volunteers can sign up for a two hour block of time by using the following SignUp Genius link.

Thank you all for your time and commitment!
