Ways to Donate

New House of Hope building

The building was generously donated by Dr. Christensen and his family.

We’re increasing our size to serve more families and we need your help!

Renovations are currently underway at 847 West 4th Street, with the grand opening planned for March 2018. We’ll increase our capacity to help by 50%, providing homes for 15 families in the Cedar Valley. Unfortunately, we’re still $140,000 short of our fundraising needs.

Build hope with us.
