Day of Hope fundraiser May 20

Harrison House of Hope invites the community to participate in a Day of Hope. This unique fundraiser will benefit the Day Center and Hope Cottages. A DAY OF HOPE is a community fundraising event that will be held Thursday, May 20 from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Harrison Park Pavillion Teams will set their own goals and encourage donations from friends and family members so that they stay off the street! Gather up some friends and set a group goal. You call, text, use your social media platform (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and ask your family, friends, church family, civic group members, or coworkers to make a pledge to support the work of Harrison House of Hope. Raise your goal, and you are no longer “on the street” for the evening like many of Harrison’s Homeless Community find themselves often. For more information, call (870) 704-8077 or donate at houseofhopeharrison.org.
