KentHOPE’s Faces of Hope – a dinner and evening of entertainment to benefit homeless women and children – is 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Renton Pavilion, 233 Burnett Ave. S.<\/p>\n
The gala includes a local celebrity dance competition, auction, dinner, cash bar for wine and beer, dessert dash and red carpet photo runway.<\/p>\n
Proceeds support KentHOPE’s mission to reduce homelessness in the community. The organization is a partnership of faith-based groups, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, businesses, local community service agencies and concerned individuals.<\/p>\n
KentHOPE’s Day Center for Women and Children reached a major milestone this fall. In the four-plus years since KentHOPE began, 500 women and their children have transitioned into housing through the work of staff and volunteers.<\/p>\n
According to KentHOPE, it costs more than $1,000 per day to serve an average of 30 women and two children.<\/p>\n
