We’re just days away from gathering to celebrate the power of home and the lives transformed through Bridge of Hope.
Join us for the Bridge of Hope Spring Gala Luncheon on Friday, May 8, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the DoubleTree Resort in Lancaster, PA.
This year’s inspiring theme, “Hope Can’t Wait: Stories of Strength and Resilience,” celebrates the strong, caring relationships that help families find stability, security and joy during difficult times.
Whether you’re joining us in person or from home, we invite you to be part of this meaningful experience.
Because Hope Can’t Wait for families facing homelessness, we want as many people as possible to be part of this meaningful event. This year, we’re again offering free virtual attendance for anyone who wishes to join us via livestream.
When: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET
Where: We invite you to watch the Gala program live right here and be part of this meaningful experience.
