- Legacy and planned giving ensure future stability.
- Vehicle donations offer immediate practical help.
- Stock and retirement gifts can leverage tax benefits.
- Non-cash gifts expand your ability to support Hope without upfront cash.

"I donated a car last year—it was easy to arrange, and it went directly to a family who needed it. Watching their gratitude—and knowing it came from my old vehicle—was moving.”
