My Reason to Give - This year for Big Give Gage, I’ve set a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 to support Hope Crisis Center and the survivors we walk alongside every day. Advocacy isn’t always easy, and some days are emotionally draining — but the impact makes it worth it. Helping even one survivor or family find safety, hope, and a fresh start reminds me why this work matters so deeply. Your gift, no matter the size, helps provide safe shelter, resources, and support for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community. This is my reason to give. What’s yours?

Hope Crisis Center is a non-profit organization that advocates for safety, justice, and healing for those impacted by domestic and sexual violence. We are passionate about creating a future without violence by providing education and inspiring our communities to action. Services include emergency shelter, 24-hour hotline assistance, legal advocacy, medical advocacy, bilingual advocacy, financial assistance, individualized one-on-one support, and community education.
