What to expect

Our Family Reunion has always been more than an event—it's an opportunity to hear stories of hope, experience what makes Hope Street so special, and discover how God may be inviting you to be part of the story. Our hope is that every guest leaves feeling inspired, encouraged, connected as they are reminded that they are deeply Beloved.

As we celebrate our 10th Family Reunion, we're going back to our roots by exploring what it truly means to be a Greenhouse for People.

We'll begin the evening together with a short but meaningful program that will set the stage for the rest of the experience. Afterward, you'll be invited to explore our Interactive Greenhouse at your own pace. As you journey through the space, you'll discover the many ways Hope Street is cultivating hope, learn how you can help meet the needs of our community, celebrate lives being transformed, and experience the heart behind our mission in an engaging and personal way.

Throughout the evening, you'll also have plenty of opportunities to:

Enjoy food stations and refreshments.
Connect with the Hope Street family.
Shop Hope Street merchandise.
Browse our silent auction.
Capture memories at our photo opportunities

We'll gather one final time to close the evening together with a few closing remarks.

This year's event is designed to be interactive and flexible. There are no assigned tables, so you're welcome to move throughout the space, connect with others, and experience the evening at your own pace. If you're coming with friends, family, or coworkers, group tickets are still available, making it easy to enjoy the evening together.

If you've attended Family Reunion before, you'll recognize the heart behind the event while experiencing something fresh and new. Each year is intentionally designed a little differently, and this year's celebration promises to be one of our most immersive experiences yet.

We can't wait to welcome you. Whether it's your first Family Reunion or your tenth, we believe you'll leave with a deeper understanding of why we call Hope Street a Greenhouse for People—and with renewed hope for the difference we can make together.
