YOUR 
SUPPORT
MATTERS

Thank you for considering a contribution to support our mission to provide poetry and creative expression sessions for at-risk youth in Northeast Florida. 

Your commitment to our community mission is sincerely appreciated by Hope at Hand and those who participate in our poetry sessions. ​While we strive to help as many at-risk youth as possible, we would not be where we are today without your support. Our community grows stronger when citizens contribute time, talent, and treasure. To get involved, please donate, follow us on social, attend fundraisers, send us much needed supplies, or volunteer. Contact jamie@hopeathand.org for more information.
