The Hope Festival Details
The Hope Festival (Washington 501(c)3 organization) is an incredible annual event that serves struggling and in-need families across the Eastside. Hopefest not only provides over 1,000 guests with free groceries, clothes, hygiene items, and books; but also offers clients free services such as haircuts, massages, entertainment, and much more. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the refreshments being served, or even pick up a club for a game of mini golf with the family. The festival provides a day of fun and care within the stressful lives that each of our guests are enduring. Our guest's connections made with local agencies and community organizations at the event will last far beyond the single-day event. Each year, our clients will walk away from this powerful day of giving with a reaffirmed belief that they are cared for by a compassionate community. Hopefest is planned and executed by local high school students, and with the powerful partnership of adult groups like Rotary and Kiwanis; we change lives every year.Through our efforts, we provide many of those in need in our community with supplies, as well as a positive atmosphere, that we all need in our lives. As we serve and give back to our community, we remember what the real goal is. Each and every one of our guests will walk out of the event with not only supplies necessary for life - but a feeling of being loved, supported, and cared for. Our guests will leave the Hope Festival with the renewed mindset that there really is good in the world. Simply said: each and every one of our guests will discover a newfound sense of hope.
