Gabby Dailey has been very busy lately with Hands4Hope! As the Winter Boutique Chairperson, Hands4Hope staff members have described her as "so organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with." She shared with us some of her early memories of Hands4Hope experiences working with our homeless outreach program, and how it got her motivated to seek out additional opportunities to serve, and to lead.

Renowned country music songwriters Jeffrey Steele, CJ Solar, and Mark Mackay put on an incredible show on November 20 at the Harris Center for the Arts in support of Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference. It was a benefit event unlike anything that Hands4Hope has attempted before that went from an idea to reality in less than a year, and by all accounts, it was a tremendous success. We are so appreciative of all the effort that went into this fundraiser, and we can't wait to share photos with you.

The holiday season is upon us, and festive horse-drawn carriage rides at El Dorado Hills Town Center are back! Hands4Hope will be one of the beneficiaries on Saturdays December 9, 16, and 23 from 4 to 8 pm. Enjoy lights and decorations with your loved ones while supporting Hands4Hope!

After months of planning and preparation, the 14th Annual Winter Boutique will open today. The youth-led committee has worked hard to transform a donated office space in Cameron Park into a cozy and organized shopping venue, with former offices and cubicles transformed into festive mini holiday boutique spaces organized by age, size and gender. They have sorted, counted, laundered, and presented more than 5,500 items of clothing… and counting!

During the 6 days that Winter Boutique will be open, we expect a record 230+ families to come through to receive clothing, blankets, and other needed items. Adult and youth Hands4Hope participants are still needed to fill multiple shifts on December 1-3 and 8-10. All ages are welcome; elementary school age participants must have an adult accompanying them.

OTAT Golf League started as a group of friends with a love for golf, and has grown to be about so much more than just improving their game. The group discovered that Hands4Hope's focus on youth development through addressing unmet community needs aligned with their charitable giving goals, and they decided to select Hands4Hope as their beneficiary of their annual golf tournament! We are so grateful for their thoughtful generosity and their investment in youth leadership and service.
