Past Events

Dining for Dollars - a Fundraiser for New Hope, Inc.
Our thanks to Café Capri in Hillsdale, NJ for gifting New Hope with 15%
of the diners' receipts.
Our New Hope diners loved the meals - we'll all be back!

Bergen Community College Volunteer Fair
This event was so successful that we now have great contacts there and are laying the plans for a New Hope Club. Amazing conversations and
sharing about adoption, abstinence and abortion.

St. Joseph's Church, Oradell
Many new energetic volunteers came forward and enough money was raised to pay for several educational, rental and childcare subsidies.
Thanks to the staff and the congregation!

Antique, Fine Art, and Artifacts Appraisal and Sale
Our local version of the "Antiques Roadshow" was so much fun, even if
you didn't bring a treasure for appraisal. There was a $6,000 paperweight,
a fake Dali print, and lots of education about interesting items!
Thanks to all who planned the event and for the gifts of two original paintings by Lauren Ennist and Bob Lampert for our gift table.



Christmas elves

Marie Golden, Carol Lavis, Anita Minnick, Marilyn Laquidara, and Carolyn MacDonald were on the team of Christmas elves who distributed twenty bags of toys and clothes to New Hope clients for Christmas, 2009.

Christmas 2007 Toys and Goodies

We would like to thank the Closter NJ Police Department. For the second year these generous community servants have included New Hope, Inc. in their Christmas toy distribution program.
And also a very sincere thank you to St. John the Evangelist Parish in Bergenfield, NJ and Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Park Ridge, NJ who have included our wants and needs on their Christmas Giving Trees. These gifts of clothes, diapers, monetary donations and ShopRite cards make such a difference in the lives of our single mothers and their babies. And a special thanks to our New Hope elves who assemble all the Christmas bags of gifts and deliverers who drop off these bags in Moonachie, Garfield, Englewood, Teaneck, Hackensack, Elmwood Park, etc. Such teamwork at this busy time of year is an inspiration.


Gala Dinner and Silent Auction was Huge Success!

The New Hope Gala Dinner and Silent Auction, which took place on October 14, 2007 at the Ramsey Golf and Country Club was a huge success.
