Honor and Memorial Gifts

A great way to celebrate that special person in your life! Make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one and HOPE Services will send them a special card letting them know you care! Contact Deanna Bullier at (408) 284-2858 to make the gift or make the gift online and then call us with instructions on where to send your acknowledgment.

Workplace Giving

Many companies and governmental agencies have programs that enable their employees to make donations through payroll deductions. If you would like to support HOPE Services through your workplace giving program, please look for "HOPE Services" in your workplace giving campaign brochure then note the corresponding designation code number, and fill it in on your pledge card. If you do not find a listing, then simply write HOPE Services 30 Las Colinas Lane, San Jose, CA 95119 on your pledge card. Also, check to see if your workplace is on this list of employers who make matching gifts!

Party with a Purpose

Turn almost any special event into a Party with a Purpose for HOPE Services and raise money and awareness for people with developmental disabilities!

  • Birthday Parties & Bar/Bat Mitzvah Celebrations: Invite guests to donate money or goods to HOPE Services instead of bringing a host or party gift.
  • In-Home Sales Parties: Host a scrap booking, jewelry, fashion, or home accessories party and donate a portion of the total sales for goods or services purchased to HOPE Services.
  • Weddings or Anniversaries: Ask guests to donate money or goods to HOPE Services in honor of the happy couple.
  • Concerts, Holiday & Anniversary Parties, Wine Tastings, and more!

For more information, please contact Deanna Bullier at (408) 284-2858.
