FAMILY FOCUS PROGRAMS

New Hope Foundation assists willing families who suffer setbacks despite their hard work and personal efforts to achieve success. Currently Elves in Disguise is New Hope Foundation's primary family focus program.

Volunteer for Elves in Disguise:

Each holiday season, volunteers at the New Hope Foundation join together to bring joy and hope to one or more families with our special "home makeover." Elves in Disguise provides basic items many people may take for granted, such as a clean mattress with sheets and a bed frame. Relieved of the burden of providing the basics, families are able to focus on achieving important milestones that can help them break the constraints of poverty.
