On Friday, June 5th, 2026, The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce held its Bloomington Women in Leadership Engage event, From Support to Stability, a service project day with New Hope for Families. New Hope for Families provides shelter and early learning programs to keep families together and lift every child into a promising future. On a given night, more than 160,000 US families are homeless. In most of the country, those families are separated, but Bloomington is different. Our community’s values dictate that no local family will sleep outside, live in a car, or be separated from one another in order to be safe. New Hope for Families is the embodiment of those values. Every day, we work to be sure that every child in our community has a safe place to sleep with their family.

Participants helped NHFF make welcome baskets for their families moving into homes, reorganize their pantries, and help prepare for the Garden Walk on June 6th.
