Hope Run

Hope Run is offered once a month and focuses on items that are not covered by EBT (trash bags, laundry soap, etc).

Weather permitting, it typically takes place on the third Saturday of the month.

Birthday Help

Birthday help is available to children ages 1-17, and age 18 if still in high school.

Birthday Help signup is usually posted 2-3 months prior to each birthday month.

I Need Help

Little Hopes strives to help members with unexpected emergency expenses, such as car repairs, medical expenses, and emergency vet bills.

When families fall behind these are the things that do not get addressed, putting their stability and often safety at risk.
