Thank you to 12 On Your Side for lifting up the urgency of the Center of Hope and sharing the grassroots momentum behind RVA Women Lifting Up HOPE.

At the heart of this movement are women across Greater Richmond saying “yes”—giving $100, inviting others, and helping move the Center of Hope closer to reality.

The new facility will expand emergency shelter capacity and create dedicated space for case management, recovery support, workforce resources and other services that help individuals and families move from crisis toward stability.

Special thanks to Ashley Hendricks and Jasmine Turner for making this story a priority—and to 12 On Your Side for contributing $300 to RVA Women Lifting Up HOPE.

Together, we can move mountains. Every contribution brings us closer to building the Center of Hope.

It’s an act of hope and kindness that RVA Women Lifting Up Hope are inviting you to be a part of.

Christmas starts long before December. 🎄

We’re proud to partner with Marco's Pizza RVA again this year for Christmas in July, helping stock our Christmas warehouse early so no child is forgotten this holiday season.

Thank you to Candice Smith and our friends at 12 On Your Side for helping us share the mission with our community! ❤️

Assistance can provide more than electricity. It can provide peace of mind.

Thank you, John, for sharing your story.
