WHEN DO I DONATE?

The Big Day of Giving donation window is between April 17 and May 1, however, we accept donations year round.

THE MINIMUM IS ONLY $10

Even small donations can make a big difference because each gift has the chance to be boosted by prizes from the Western Health Advantage and match funds.

HOW WILL MY DONATION HELP?

When you donate to Fourth & Hope your contribution goes toward providing food and shelter 365 days a year for those in need in Woodland and Yolo County. Just $25 provides a night of shelter and food for one person.

In 2023, 41 people were placed in permanent supportive or stable housing through our program. 242 people received overnight emergency shelter services including restrooms, showers, laundry, three meals a day, mail, phone, and case management. 200 people received supportive services through our street outreach and day services. 92,000 meals were served to shelter clients and anyone in need of food.

With your support, YOU are changing and saving lives. Because of YOU, people experiencing homelessness get a second chance.

Your kindness and ongoing partnership empower Fourth & Hope to continue its mission of transforming lives. Together, we are creating a foundation for today’s healing and tomorrow’s hope. Thank you for your unwavering support!

Empty Bowls Recap - Test

The 16th Annual Empty Bowls event took place on October 23, 2024, at Life Pointe Church in Woodland, uniting the community in a global effort to combat local hunger. This year’s gathering featured 12 delicious soups served by community leaders and local dignitaries, along with a vibrant raffle offering unique prizes. Together, we came close to reaching our ambitious $35,000 fundraising goal.

Every dollar raised directly supports Fourth & Hope’s emergency shelter program, which helps Yolo County residents move from the streets to stability. Beyond providing shelter, we offer a pathway to renewed life and hope.

More than just a fundraiser, Empty Bowls showcased the compassion and generosity of our community, demonstrating a collective commitment to helping those in need.
