Sharing the Love: A Valentine’s Celebration for Seniors


Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and chocolates—it’s about making sure everyone feels loved. That’s why on Sunday, February 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Life Center, we’re celebrating the seniors in our community with a special afternoon of connection, conversation, and kindness.


Imagine this: A senior, sitting quietly at home, feeling a little forgotten—until a knock at the door changes everything. A smiling visitor hands her a heartfelt card, shares a warm conversation, and reminds her she’s cherished. That’s the kind of love we’re spreading!


We’re inviting volunteers—families, kids, and anyone with a heart for giving—to deliver Valentine’s surprises, share stories, and brighten someone’s day. Whether you bring your little cupids or come solo, your presence will mean the world. Let us know if you would like to help: jereca@hopeisforeveryone.org.

The Bus That Brings Relief, Hope, and Maybe Even a Free Phone You never forget the sound of a bus pulling up when you’ve been waiting for something to arrive, especially when it’s bringing help. On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., something powerful is coming to the Life Center: the Hamilton County 513Relief Bus. It doesn’t honk its horn or flash bright lights. It just parks, opens its doors, and quietly changes lives.  Inside this one-of-a-kind mobile resource center, you’ll find a surprising amount of goodness packed into a single vehicle: Fresh produce (courtesy of Food from the Soul) Free phones (thanks to Stand Up Wireless) Mobile banking and financial wellness support (via Fifth Third Bank) Medical screenings (blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol, provided by UC Health) Mental health support, housing connections, peer recovery, resources for seniors, and even birth certificates Think of it like a one-stop neighborhood pop-up shop for your well-being—...

Overcoming Together: A Banquet to Remember

  Overcoming Together: A Banquet to Remember Hope is a funny thing. It’s invisible and weightless, yet it can move mountains when you have it. That’s why the Life Center’s annual Hope Banquet isn’t just another dinner. It’s a chance to be part of something bigger, to ignite hope where it’s needed most. Mark your calendar for Friday, February 21, at Whitewater Crossing! This incredible evening starts at 6 p.m. with an open house and mouthwatering appetizers from Kreimer’s Bier Haus (because all good things start with food). Dinner by Sullivan’s Catering follows, leading into a night of inspiration featuring Vincent Rey, former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker and current team chaplain. Vincent knows something about pressure—like what goes through an NFL linebacker's mind when the game is on the line. (Hint: It's not “What’s for dinner?”). But beyond the game, he’s faced challenges that have tested his faith, purpose, and perseverance. His journey from the locker room to the pulpit ...
