Hope For The Holidays

Hope for the Holidays is a heartfelt Christmas outreach created to bring comfort, encouragement, and hope to those who may find this season difficult. We know that Christmas, while often joyful, can also stir deep emotions—especially for those walking through grief, loneliness, financial strain, or the absence of loved ones.

Our program warmly welcomes individuals who may not have the chance to celebrate Christmas with loved ones, as well as those with unique or exceptional needs. The serene beauty of Hope Valley, paired with thoughtful holiday experiences, creates meaningful moments for each guest. We offer cherished traditions such as cookie and ornament decorating, a hot cocoa bar with treats, and other family-friendly activities, all while supporting the emotional well-being of our community.

We recognize that some guests enjoy or require a sensory-friendly environment, and we are pleased to offer the Hope for the Holidays experience upon request, at our available times, for those with sensory-friendly needs.

The overwhelming joy on every child’s face is what stands out. Hope Valley had the entire grounds lit up like a Christmas wonderland and shared the wonder of the season with God’s perfect and wonderfully made creations, His children. It was a blessing to be a small part of that event.
