Looking back on 2025, I find myself reflecting on what this year has truly meant for Hope Clubhouse, and it all comes back to one word: HOPE.
2025 marked our 15th anniversary at 3602 Broadway. For fifteen years, these doors have opened each morning to individuals seeking not just services but belonging. In a world where 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness, the need for community, dignity, and opportunity has never been greater.
And because of you, hope is not just something we talk about, it is something we build every single day.
In 2025:
• 914 individuals have found community at Hope Clubhouse
• 60 members gained employment, earning nearly $880,000 in collective income
• 8 members pursued their education
• 3,167 pounds of fresh produce were grown in our garden
• 5,968 hot meals were prepared and shared
• 172 members actively engaged in the past six months
• 70 new members joined Hope Clubhouse
These numbers tell a story of resilience. Of confidence rediscovered. Of independence regained.
One of the most powerful moments of Faces of Hope 2025 was hearing directly from three of our members who bravely shared their personal journeys. With honesty and courage, they spoke about the realities of living with mental health challenges, and the turning points that led them to Hope Clubhouse. Their stories were deeply moving and served as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, transformation is real, and lives truly change when people are given dignity, opportunity, and support.
Through our $330,000 capital campaign, you helped us reach 100% of our goal, transforming our Clubhouse into a more open, welcoming, and uplifting space. That achievement is more than an upgrade. It is a declaration that our members deserve environments that reflect their worth and potential.
As we enter 2026, our mission remains unwavering:
To ensure every adult living with mental illness who walks through our doors finds stability, purpose, and the opportunity to thrive. We look forward to inviting you to join us for our upcoming ribbon cutting as we celebrate a renewed space that reflects the hope, growth, and new beginnings made possible by this incredible community.
Thank you for believing in this work.
Thank you for standing beside our members.
Thank you for helping us build futures rooted in dignity, belonging, and hope.
With gratitude,
Lauren Walker
