We talk about our Hope In Action Fund a lot — and for good reason. This special fund, which provides for children and families in emergency situations, when natural disasters strike, and due to extreme hardship, allows our volunteer coordinators to support their communities beyond what sponsorship provides.
Thank you for all you have provided to children in need this year through our Hope In Action Fund. We couldn’t do our life-changing work without you.
As we get closer to the end of 2023, we would like to share with you, our amazing donors, just some of the many ways your donations to Hope In Action have helped this year, from the rural areas of Eastern Kentucky to our affiliated sites in the Philippines.
