20 YEARS
OF HOPE TRUST
This year marks 20 years since Hope Trust was founded back in 2005. We are very excited and proud to be celebrating this special milestone.
There will be an event happening early November where we will gather to celebrate.
​
We will have a ‘reeling in the years’ video on the day where people share their connection with Hope Trust and we take a look back on all God has done.
​
We are compiling photographs from various people involved throughout the years and have also gotten Christmas cards made up that will be given as a gift and in due time available for purchase by means of fundraising.
​
God has been so faithful, and we are ever grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. We look forward to all that is yet to come for Hope Trust.
