HopeHouse International’s U.S. and Ukraine staff, interns and long-term volunteers devote themselves to serving the fatherless. Our collaborative work on behalf of orphans is our outward expression of loving and serving the ‘least of these’ who are in need of a mother, a father and a Savior. Submitted to the Lord’s leadership, we work together towards a vision larger than any one of us can accomplish alone. -Matthew 25: 31-46

An Evening of Hope
One night fundraising galas in Nashville and North Texas celebrate the lives of the former orphans that are now sons and daughters! Because we do not solicit donations through mailings, email or phone, these table sponsored events are the primary way that HopeHouse International® raises awareness and funds to support its mission.
An Evening of Hope @Home
We will be bringing our galas (An Evening of Hope) into living rooms, dorm rooms, and social media watch parties throughout the country, expanding this awareness and fundraising event exponentially to help more orphans!
Find My Shoes: Immersion Event (coming soon)
Volunteer for this event so others can step into the life of an orphan in a powerful immersive event combining drama and interactive storytelling. Attendees will learn how HopeHouse International® provides hope for an orphan’s present, future and eternity through the gift of in-country adoption into a loving, Christian home.
Spike-2-Rescue, Run-2-Rescue, Climb-2-Rescue
Organize a volleyball tournament. Walk/Run in any city marathon. Climb with a group at a climbing gym.
