PICTURES OF HOPE HOSTED BY ONE HOPE UNITED AND THE BLACK CLOUD GALLERY

Pictures of Hope is designed to highlight the importance of child abuse prevention and to raise awareness about the work that One Hope United is doing in our communities to answer this pressing need. Child abuse prevention plays a critical role in realizing our vision of ensuring that every child has a safe place to call home. During this evening, guests will have the opportunity to meet One Hope United staff and fellow supporters and to learn how they can support our mission of protecting children and strengthening families.

SUPPORT OUR FOSTER CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY

During the evening, artwork created by foster children in One Hope United programs will be displayed on the walls of the gallery and will be available for purchase via silent auction. All proceeds from the auction will benefit One Hope United’s child abuse prevention work. The event is free to attend, and guests will enjoy complimentary beverages provided by The Noble Grape and hors d’oeuvres from 6—10 PM.

RSVP to Jenaeth Markaj at 312-949-4001 or via email at jmarkaj@onehopeunited.org.

ONE HOPE UNITED

One Hope United was founded as Chicago Baptist Orphanage in 1895 and Hudelson Baptist Children's Home in 1903. The scope of services of both organizations evolved over the years, expanding to include foster care, clinical services and early childhood development. The two organizations entered into a management agreement in 1987, creating a historic partnership between the agencies. In 2001, we expanded our services to Florida during the state's transition to child welfare privatization. In 2004, we transformed into a federated partnership to reflect our position as a national organization working toward the same mission: protecting children and strengthening families. Then in January 2010, we officially changed our name to One Hope United.

As One Hope United, we are uniquely positioned to advance our mission throughout our service areas by providing a diverse array of prevention, intervention and community-based support programs to vulnerable, high-risk populations, as well as education and advocacy on the local, state and national levels.
