Dear family & friends,
The Igniting Potential fundraiser is here again and it’s a one day event happening today (9/16/26). I come to you to request your help and support for a worthy cause, a local non-profit organization in Garden Grove, called H.O.P.E.
As a board member, I have seen Gayle Knight, CEO of H.O.P.E. (shown here with me), her staff and volunteers work hard every day to serve those in need.
Last year, we served 3,000+ children and a total of 10,000+ people. Thousands of children in Orange County face food insecurity every day and H.O.P.E. works diligently to address the immediate needs.
WHAT DOES H.O.P.E. DO?
H.O.P.E. offers a myriad of Safety Net services to help families, mothers and children with food, clothing, hygiene products, baby diapers, school supplies, and emergency needs like gas cards or bus passes. They also have a M&m Youth Mentor Program, STEM education and tutoring, and Helping Women Succeed program. The purpose of these programs is to help women and their children with a safe place to seek support and resources and provide them training to help build a better future for themselves.
For more information, please visit H.O.P.E.'s website at: https://www.hopebiz.org/
Click on the DONATE button at the top of the page to donate now. Every dollar counts. So please spread the word. Your donation is tax deductible, too.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and may God bless you and your family with happiness, peace and prosperity!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Nguyen-Yu, Board Member
Help us Turn Despair into HOPE for low-income and at-risk kids in
Orange County by supporting
our goal to raise $60,000
For nearly 30, H.O.P.E. has worked tirelessly to end the often multi-generational cycle of poverty, food insecurity, and the lack of educational and employment opportunities. Every day, thousands of children in Orange County face food insecurity and lack of opportunities. New moms struggle to provide diapers and other baby essentials. H.O.P.E. works tirelessly to meet this need. In 2025, we helped more than 3,000 children and their families become food secure and take steps toward both short and long term health and achievement. Through our One-Stop Safety Net, we provide emergency food security to children and their families who are often struggling with the decision of whether to pay rent or buy food. Once families are food secure, we give low-income and at-risk children the opportunity to do better. Through Sounds of Hope music mentorship and free music lessons, we provide these young people with access to opportunities and achievements many never could have imagined were within their reach.
You can make a difference in the lives of these children by supporting H.O.P.E.
