Tomorrow is the International Day of Hope. 💛

When we say, “opening doors to hope,” we know that hope is more than a feeling. It means taking action, offering support, and creating second chances. When you support LOFT, you provide hope to those who are often overlooked.

For Canada Day last week, clients and staff from our Back to Home Northwest program celebrated with a joyful gathering of crafts, games, and most importantly, community. 🍁

Here’s to belonging, inclusion, and the moments that bring us together. ✨
