“We are thrilled to invite the community to join us for this unique and delightful evening that will make a difference in the lives of the many children and families we serve,” said Vernon Hayes, Chief Executive Officer of Hope Center.
Hope Center for Children offers a range of community-based initiatives that focus on child abuse prevention, as well as residential programs that provide a safe, home-like environment for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
The organization also offers help to homeless teens and teens aging out of the foster care system and transitioning into independent living. Last year, the organization served 5,800 families and children throughout the Upstate.
