Howdy! It's me, Mandy. As many of you know, I have been with Hope Crisis Center for 13 amazing years! In that time, I have seen what an incredible impact our program has made on the lives of survivors. When people come to us, they are navigating the hardest (and oftentimes the most dangerous) seasons of their lives. Shelter, housing assistance, resources, and support provide a pathway forward into lives free from violence. This year for Big Give Gage, I would like to celebrate my 13 years of service by challenging you to donate at least $13 to Hope Crisis Center. Every single cent goes toward lifesaving emergency services. Plus, donating between now and September 11th helps us earn bonus funds. That means your gift goes farther when you donate today! Let's make 13 the luckiest number!

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.
