HOPE Coalition

Invest in HOPE this Give to the Max Day

Trauma doesn’t happen in isolation. Its impact ripples outward, from individuals to families and into entire communities. When trauma goes unresolved, it can create painful patterns that echo through generations.

For victims of violence, navigating recovery often means facing as many as 11 different systems before a court case is even resolved. It can be overwhelming to know where to start, and can keep people trapped in dangerous situations.

That’s where HOPE Coalition comes in.

For 35 years, HOPE Coalition has served our community by filling the gaps left by trauma and walking alongside people through crisis and toward healing. Our ultimate goal is to end the generational cycles of abuse, violence, and poverty, helping to build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.

Our Mission: HOPE Coalition provides comprehensive, ongoing support to people impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and economic hardship. Through advocacy, education, and prevention, we build safety, security, and stability in our community.

Our services include a secure, seven-apartment domestic violence shelter that provides safe housing and support for individuals and families escaping abuse. We also offer a 24/7 crisis line for anyone experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault. In addition to these life-saving resources, our Kids Count Program provides advocacy services to youth and non-offending caregivers who have witnessed or experienced abuse who reside in Goodhue County. Whenever someone reaches out for help, HOPE is there.

For the cost of a tank of gas or a few specialty coffees, you can help someone else find safety, stability, and healing. People like you make it possible for HOPE to connect, empower, and strengthen our community. This Give to the Max Day, we invite you to invest in HOPE.

With deep appreciation,

HOPE Coalition Client Impact Story:

"I never properly thanked the person from HOPE Coalition, years ago, who showed up with me in court. Who positioned her body to block my abuser from my sight. Who stood boldly beside me, lending her strength, when I had none. Who helped me stay strong when I wasn’t. He received 7 years in prison and I became a survivor. Too many years later. But thank you."

PLEASE be part of the solution for those processing trauma. Invest in HOPE today!
