The seventh annual KentHOPE for Tomorrow Gala raised $190,000 to help the nonprofit’s efforts to end the cycle of homelessness and addiction for local women and their families.<\/p>\n
The Nov. 2 dinner, dessert, celebrity dance and auction drew 360 people to the Renton Pavilion.<\/p>\n
Proceeds generously support the daily operations of the KentHOPE Women and Children’s Day Center.<\/p>\n
KentHOPE guest Sandra Kincade shared her story about regaining her self-esteem and her ability to give back to others in the three months she had been at the day center. Kincade had found permanent housing the day before the gala.<\/p>\n
KentHOPE is a partnership of faith-based groups, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, businesses, local community service agencies and concerned individuals who are dedicated to reducing homelessness in the community.<\/p>\n
