Host a Baby Shower for a Mother in Need

We are looking for small groups who would be willing to adopt an expectant mother and host her baby shower. The responsibilities would include connecting with mom to gather details, organize your group to provide cake, decorations, and gifts, and deliver, set up and participate in the shower according to mom's wishes.

If this sounds like something you would like to do, please click the link below for more information and to sign up! We will be in contact once we are ready to make the connection between you and mom.

Hope Ambassadors at Hub for Hope

Help us provide hope and dignity to guests who are in need of rent/utility support. Hope Ambassadors meet one-on-one with guests to listen to stories and gather the necessary information to provide assistance. This is a vital role in the work of Hub for Hope, and we will provide training that includes the opportunity to shadow other Hope Ambassadors. Join us in the effort to meet the needs of our neighbors!
