OPERATION HOPE’S 40TH
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

We look forward to gathering at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield on Thursday, May 8 to acknowledge the efforts of our volunteers, donors and friends who help us end hunger and homelessness, one person at a time. This year, we are delighted to honor Neighbors Helping Neighbors – Fairfield & Southport, as our “Champion of Hope,” and its co-founders, Helene Daly and Alexis Harrison. Through this grassroots organization, Helene and Alexis have made outstanding contributions in our community and work tirelessly to further our mission. Due to the popularity of this event, we are currently offering a waitlist. Please contact Suzanne Francis, Events Manager, here to be added to the waitlist. Please consider a program ad, a Friends listing or a donation in support of the 40 years of Operation Hope’s efforts. Click here for details. Thank you!

GIVE HOPE

Many of our neighbors in need are a paycheck or life situation away from losing their home. The impact of homelessness is huge. In this fragile economic environment, this can happen anywhere and to anyone. Help us make our neighbors’ experience of homelessness rare, brief and one time.
