The vision…

Summer of Hope came about by a group of men and women coming from diverse backgrounds with a heart to serve and share the love back into the community. From the synergy of group, an idea of a positive musical and creative event was born. With zero budget, minimal financial resources, and heart to serve the community, on June 23, 2018 the Summer of Hope event became a reality.

For 2018 we wanted to make a difference for the kids and youth in our community. So, we partnered with three organizations Olive Crest, Project Kinship, and OC Social Services to support and make sure that we positively impact the kids and youth in our community. In addition, to these three amazing agencies our local church communities from various ethnicities and backgrounds laid aside barriers to come together and support the event and pour into the participants by serving and helping.

Along the way we witnessed several amazing things…over 150 volunteers, 20 churches, many corporate sponsors came together to help the community.

As we prepare for 2019 Summer of Hope….we hope that this event will be a catalyst for bringing people from all walks of life and backgrounds together to celebrate life and share HOPE as a true community. See you there!

“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” John 6:9

 

Through Summer of Hope I have experienced a modern day version of this passage!
