Ray of Hope's HOPS FOR HOPE
Tom Davis
Ray of Hope is a 501(c)3 multi-service organization that is committed to helping adult and child survivors and their families find the services they need in ONE place to recover from child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, teen dating violence, and stalking.
Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION , Ben Ames and Kara Marts said that Ray of Hope works from a victim-centered, strengths-based approach to empower survivors and their families on their journey towards safety and healing. Their mission is to facilitate a coordinated, community response and to provide hope and support to children and families impacted by abuse.
Ray of Hope believes that we all have a shared responsibility to keep children and families safe by preventing family violence, protecting our most vulnerable and advocating for change in our community. If you need help, please call our 24-hour crisis line at 918.214.8886.
Serving Washington, Nowata and Osage Counties, all services are provided without cost.
Funds are needed to keep these services viable. One of the fundraisers is coming up this fall with Hops for Hope on November 5, at the Bartlesville Airport.
Everyone’s favorite home-brewing competition is back for our 13th year. Whether you’re a sponsor, a brewer, or a beer enthusiast, we think the odds are good that this will be our best year ever! But the real winners are always the kids and families that we serve at Ray of Hope.
