Jan 04, 2026By Emma Wright

As we step into a new year, it’s impossible not to pause and reflect on everything our Hopelink community accomplished together in 2025. Last year was filled with challenges, but it was also filled with moments of hope—moments created by people like you who chose to show up, give generously, and believe in the power of community.

Reflecting on 2025: A Year of Impact

Brining joy into their lives

In 2025, our goals were simple but ambitious:

• Support more families facing food insecurity

• Expand our outreach events to reach underserved neighborhoods

• Build stronger partnerships with local businesses and volunteers

• Create programs that restore dignity, not just provide temporary relief

Thanks to your support, we didn’t just meet those goals—we exceeded them. We provided Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of families, launched new seasonal outreach events, and strengthened our network of volunteers who continue to be the heartbeat of everything we do. We saw families find stability, children receive essentials, and neighbors step up for one another in ways that reminded us why this work matters.

Every donation, every shared post, every hour volunteered made a difference.

Looking Ahead: Our Goals for 2026

This year, we’re dreaming even bigger. Hopelink Community Services is entering 2026 with renewed energy and a clear vision for what comes next.

Here’s what we’re focusing on:

1. Expanding Family Support Programs
We want to reach more families with consistent, reliable assistance—whether through food support, emergency resources, or seasonal outreach.

2. Strengthening Community Partnerships
Local businesses, churches, and organizations have been incredible allies. In 2026, we aim to deepen those relationships to create long‑term impact.

3. Increasing Volunteer Engagement
Our volunteers are the backbone of our mission. This year, we’re creating new opportunities for people to get involved in ways that fit their time, skills, and passions.

4. Launching New Seasonal Events
From back‑to‑school drives to holiday outreach, we’re committed to offering programs that meet families where they are—especially during the times they need it most.

5. Building a Stronger Digital Giving Platform
We want to make it easier than ever for supporters to give, share, and stay connected with our mission.

A Year of Hope Ahead
2026 is a fresh chapter, and we’re stepping into it with gratitude for what we’ve built together—and excitement for what’s still ahead. Our mission remains the same: to bring hope, dignity, and support to families who need it most.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for believing in community. And thank you for helping us make 2026 a year of impact, compassion, and growth.
