As COVID-19 continues to impact our communities, the City of San José is committed to helping all residents. We want to hear more about the impact of COVID-19 on the life of our residents and how we can best support communities during this difficult time. This survey shouldn’t take more than 7 minutes we really appreciate your input: English - https://loom.ly/qtl-fAk

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the support of our giving community. Without the generosity of our giving community, clients like Jon, Joe, and the Peris quadruplets and April (all pictured above) would not have access to vital resources necessary to thrive in 2020. However, we still have unmet need and our mission is even more essential as we prepare for what’s ahead. While a vaccine has been found, it will be months before our clients can join us again in person to receive support and counseling. Your help is still needed now to prepare our clients for 2021. If you missed out on the opportunity to give in 2020, please be our hero and kickstart 2021 with a gift. To make your tax-deductible gift, please click here.

We are only moments away from 2021, you can still make a tax-deductible donation to ensure access to protective gear, computer and networking equipment, counselors, and resources to even more Hope Services clients. Donate now to immediately receive a receipt of your donation in 2020. Will you be our hero and make a tax-deductible gift before midnight?... To donate, please visit: https://hopeservices.org/hero

Clients like April, Joe, Jon, and the Peris quadruplets were able to overcome the numerous challenges they encountered in 2020 thanks to the generosity of donors like you.

Dear Friends and Stakeholders, As we near the end of this very challenging year, I would like to thank everyone for their support of Hope Services.
