Helping

There are so many ways you can help Hope House. You can donate money, services, or goods, or make Hope House your designated United Way charity. (Our designation number is #5070). You can also donate gently used items to the Hope House Thrift Shop.

You can contribute to the Drive for Affordable Housing, our upcoming capital campaign. You can leave us a legacy through planned giving and endowments.

You can shop at Food Lion, which will donate a portion of what you spend at their stores to Hope House at your request. It only takes a moment to register – simply click here to register your MVP card, and choose “Hope House” from the list of charities. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be supporting Hope House every time you shop at Food Lion.

You can use www.goodsearch.com, which donates money to Hope House every time you use it to search the Web. It’s powered by Yahoo.com, so you get proven, high-quality search results. Just enter Hope House as the charity you want to support, and you’ll be helping us every time you use goodsearch.com. So why not make it your home page?

You can shop at the Hope House Thrift Shop, which also has items for sale in our eBay store. Or you can shop online for Hope House note cards and other merchandise.

You can volunteer to help out at our events, or to spend time with the people we support.

You can attend our many community fundraising events, such as the Stockley Gardens Arts Festival, Chesapeake Arts Festival, the Emerald Gala, and concerts.

But most of all, you can help by supporting the full inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the community. So if you happen to meet someone we support, or anyone else with disabilities, stop and say hi.
