On September 15, actress and best-selling author Jenny Mollen headlined the Center for HOPE's Annual Luncheon. Renowned interior designer Amanda Lindroth also received the Spirit of Resiliency Award. The event celebrated the Center for HOPE's 40th anniversary and raised more than $160,000. Many thanks to our co-chairs, Bri Hart, Jen Hyde and Abby Ritman.

Help Family Centers provide some holiday cheer to those in need by supporting our Annual Thanksgiving Drive. We are currently collecting bags of food and grocery store gift cards to ensure families in need can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. We suggest that each bag of food includes non-perishable food and a $25 gift card that can be used to purchase a main dish.

On Saturday, December 10, families enrolled in our programs will be invited to a special "shopping" event at the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford. Parents will have the opportunity to browse a wide selection of toys and gifts that they can take home at no cost and give to their children at the holidays. We are accepting donations of new toys and seeking volunteers to help on December 10.

All gifts made to Family Centers are 100% tax deductible and directly assist local children, families and individuals.

More than 1,200 volunteers give of their time and talent each year to support Family Centers’ mission. Join us to make a huge impact!

Be a part of something great! By working at Family Centers, you not only further your career… You’re strengthening the community!
