We`ve taken this #AutismAwarenessMonth to grow and learn as a team. All month long we`ve seen countless posts, read articles, and spoke to friends about their experiences with autism, either for themselves or as loved ones of someone with autism. It inspired us to release our latest blog post, touching on a bit of the journey that often isn`t talked about, but is just as important!

Hearts of Hope`s first ever Paint with a Purpose was a Valentine`s Day event. It was a community effort, a massive gathering of people from every walk of life, all coming together in response to national tragedy. It was compassionate, rewarding, and - pun intended - heartfelt. This Valentine`s Day, consider doing something for someone you care about - even if you`ve never met them before. You never know who might need a little dose of hope. 💝

It’s January 2026, and just like everyone else, Hearts of Hope is welcoming in a new year.
Typically, that means we’re looking forward: embracing new ideas, new challenges, and new energy for the road ahead. But this January looks a little different. This new year, we’re taking a moment to look back and honor a moment that feels both humbling and extraordinary.
Because this year is the 25th anniversary of Hearts of Hope Foundation!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support for all these years. Read our newest blog, all about the very first Paint with a Purpose event - link in bio!
