Events
Show up once. See what happens.
Forty years of this work has been held together by rooms full of people: tea cups and robot pits, graduation nights and block parties. Here is where we have been, and how to get in the room next time, and a look back at where we've been.

Take part
Ways to take part
Four ways in, whether you want to work an event, ask a question, bring a group, or help fund the work.
Volunteer at an event
Help welcome families, prepare activities, support event logistics, or serve alongside our community.
Ask an event question
Have a question about an upcoming event, partnership opportunity, or how to participate?
Bring your organization
Churches and companies can volunteer together, contribute expertise, sponsor needs, or explore a longer partnership.
Help make the work possible
Support Hope Horizon’s programs and community work through a one-time or monthly gift.
Bring your people
The best events here were someone else's idea.
Churches have run drives. Companies have brought teams for a service day. Families have turned a birthday into a fundraiser. If you want to host something, sponsor a table, or bring a group, we will help you build it.
