Executive Director Report
Rita Kahn: Executive Director
The 4th Annual Seeds of HOPE Gala on June 3rd was a wonderful way to kick off the summer season. It was a pleasure to reunite in person with so many HOPES volunteers and supporters at the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory. We raised over $100,000 to help us expand our programs to more students in more situations of homelessness. Thank you to everyone who made this event such an amazing success story!
We have also recently welcomed five new AmeriCorps members, Clara Cadwell, Jacob Hinz, Jake Schwartz,
Laflanicea Branch, Lauren Hanna, Lisa Grady, Stephanie Salgado, and Tal Clower who are excited to begin working directly with children during our HOPES Summer Enrichment program. They took a bus to Springfield on June 9th to attend the Illinois National Service Summit and by all accounts they learned a lot and enjoyed a great day of team bonding. We welcome our new team members to HOPES and look forward to a great summer program!
Best,
