Dear Friends,

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing summer! It's hard to believe it's almost over, but the Circle of Hope team is so excited to jump into an incredibly busy fall season.

We have received more new partnership requests this summer than ever before. Despite launching 10 new partnerships in the past year, our waitlist has ballooned to an astounding 45 organizations waiting for help. There is no better time to get involved! Run a collection drive, add a kit-making activity to your holiday party, organize a Halloween-themed fundraiser, host a holiday giving tree drive, volunteer with Circle of Hope, or just help spread the word. No act of kindness is too small.

If you are planning a fall or holiday drive, I encourage you to plan to drop off your donations by early December. We have been getting many requests for new clothing, hygiene products, shoes, and makeup/skincare for the holidays every year and we want to make sure we can get your donations out the door in time for the holidays!

As always, please reach out with any questions. We are more than happy to help as you make your plans!

With all my gratitude,

Ari
