Hopelink serves homeless and low-income families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Their services range from immediate and crisis-oriented care to long-term assistance. Hopelink’s goal is to aid families in their move into self-sufficiency. This includes help in the areas of housing, food, financial assistance, literacy, childcare, family development, and more. So how can you and your class help? Contact Hopelink and ask what needs to be done, from student outreach and publicity about their program Eastside Literacy, to assistance with special events at food banks. Community outreach and fundraising are other ways to help.
