You will be eased into the experience with guided breath. So drop your kiddos off at school, invite a friend to join you and make your way to our welcoming space.

No matter your church size, financial ability, or volunteerism pool, United4Hope will help encourage and provide a staff member to walk alongside your church as it partners with a school in the Franklin Special District. If you are unable to attend, we highly encourage you to send a representative from your church or set up a time to meet with Marian Campos at marian.campos@operationandrew.org
