What a night to remember 💛

This year’s Night of Hope brought together friends, supporters, and community members to celebrate the power of hope and the people who make it possible every day.
From inspiring stories to moments of joy and connection, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we come together for one purpose: seeing families build stronger, healthier futures.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared generously, and continue to stand with us in bringing hope to our city.

For almost forty years, Vernon Oakes has been part of the Community of Hope family. He’s helped shape who we are from serving on our board to helping open our first site in Ward 8. His leadership and care have touched countless families along the way.

This year, we’re proud to honor Vernon with the Tom Nees Award for Exceptional Service, recognizing his decades of service and his belief that hope begins when we care for each other. 💛

📚✨ Share books and help us spread the joy of reading!
Our Family Success Center is hosting its Fall Book Fest on Saturday, October 25 from 1–4 PM at the Conway Health and Resource Center. We have great children's books but really need more young adult books to give away.

The festival will include free food, giveaways, and storytime for children of all ages to enjoy! 🍂 Every book donated helps spark imagination, confidence, and a love of reading.

👉 Drop off new or gently used young adult books at the Conway Center by October 22.

Your mental health matters today and every day.

If you or someone you know could use support, our Emotional Wellness team is here to help. Learn more at https://ow.ly/q41r50X9RUq

“With my condition, I always try to stay up on my medicine, but even when I’m starting to run low, I can depend on the team to send a message to remind me and get it to me when I need it." - Brian, Community of Hope patient

Three years ago, we opened our in-house pharmacy so our patients wouldn’t have to choose between time, cost, and care. For Brian, this change made all the difference. No more long lines. No more feeling like just another number. Just people who know him by name and help him manage his prescriptions.

Night of Hope reminded us what it means to be bold and brave.

Our CEO, Kelly, inspired us with a powerful call to action, encouraging everyone that you are needed in caring for our community. April, one of our incredible clients, shared her personal story, showing the real-life impact of the support she relies on at Community of Hope and through supportive programs like Medicaid and other programs. With leadership from our host committee, including committee co-chair L. Dijon Anderson, we raised record-breaking funds! And our amazing host kept the evening flowing with energy, grace, and warmth, making every moment feel meaningful and memorable.


Here’s to 45 years of showing up for our community and to the courage it takes to keep building hope together!
