Hope Street fundraiser 

Here at the Greenhouse for People we thrive because of faithful people like you. We protect our community from outside elements, we cultivate hope and we grow together. This is intentionally done through relationship building and life skills development. The environment is such that everyone is given the opportunity to develop new habits that will long outlast their time at Hope Street. We want to invite you into this process moving forward. 

 

We are redefining family. About 2000 years ago a Jewish carpenter named Jesus said, “whoever does the will of my Father is my family”. He re-framed family by obedience, not blood. Our members are breaking free from addictions, difficult circumstances, and broken families; together we are choosing to grow a real relationship with one another and our one true Father. 

 

I am so excited for Hope Street to host its eighth annual, “Family Reunion”, a fundraiser to be held the week of September 24th at Hope Street, both in our Homes and Shechem locations. This special event will highlight life at Hope Street on a weekly basis. Come discover what a “week in our shoes” looks like by participating in the classes and activities we have going on during a regular week. We will end the week with an unique opportunity to Light the HOAN bridge up with Hope Street colors. 

 

Last August, we opened up Shechem at Hope Street, which has served as a bridge between our Homes at Hope Street community and the greater Milwaukee community. At Hope Street we cultivate hope, and as we intersect with other places during the day, whether that be our workplaces, schools, grocery stores, bus stops etc. that hope should spread throughout Milwaukee, transforming everything in its path. This year we are lighting up the Hoan bridge, which serves as a symbol of Shechem at Hope Street, a bridge, and our intention of spreading the light that has shined here into the community. There are two ways to join us for our Family Reunion this year:
