Hope House Invites You to Come and See What Hope Looks Like
November 15, 2017 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST

Each year Hope House hosts Father to Child Summer Camps behind bars, where incarcerated fathers and their children create uniquely beautiful murals depicting a perfect day together. This holiday season can be the one that brings us closer to our family and friends regardless of where they are – from the children in the next room to that friend you haven’t spoken to in years.  It’s never too late for hope!  Come see What Hope Looks Like and learn how Hope House brings families together. Please join us to:

* View these never before seen murals created by incarcerated fathers and their children;

*Celebrate, support and learn about strengthening families.  Fathers in prison face major obstacles in sustaining family ties.  Be inspired by the creative ways Hope House helps families separated by the incarceration of a loved one sustain bonds;

*Enjoy delicious food from Well Dunn Catering;

*Enjoy the spectacular view of the U.S. Capitol.

Special Guest: NBC4’s Wendy Rieger who will lead a stimulating conversation with Hope House families and Rep. Bobby Scott (invited) about the Impact of Incarceration on Families and Communities.
