Help us change lives by becoming a "Friend of Hope"!
Anchor of Hope relies on monthly donations in order to make plans and budget for future giving and opportunities to our families/community. For the same amount you spend on a meal out, you can be sure you are helping Anchor of Hope secure an income that they can rely on, month in and month out. This helps the organization plan for monthly Parent's Night Out events, yearly scholarship approvals and releases, and resources to connect more families facing developmental disabilities.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together." -Linda Thompson
