On Thursday, June 13, more than 100 guests gathered at Gore Place in Waltham to celebrate hope, community, and impact at Hope Blooms!
We were delighted to present the 2024 Hope Award to longtime Circle of Hope volunteer, Judy Waterhouse, whose dedication to our mission has helped tens of thousands of people experiencing homelessness over the past 16 years.
Our deepest thanks to Emcee Karen Anderson from WCVB's 5 Investigates for helping make the evening extra special and to Guest Speaker Mark Goldschmidt for sharing several moving stories about his remarkable students at Framingham High School and their families.
View our full Hope Blooms photo gallery, as well as a video featuring our partnership with Framingham High School, on our website. We are very grateful to Presenting Sponsors Louise & Peter Donovan, Field of Hope Sponsors Needham Bank and Lizbeth & George Krupp, and every sponsor, donor, guest, vendor, and supporter who made Hope Blooms such a success.
There is still time to support Circle of Hope's Fund-A-Need and help provide clothing, hygiene essentials, and other necessities to thousands of people experiencing homelessness. Your gift will help Circle of Hope continue expanding our services as homelessness dramatically increases statewide.
