About Hope4 Communities
The Hope4 Christmas Store is an initiative of Hope 4 Centerville and Kettering, a local Hope4Community that is part of the Miami Valley Leadership Foundation (MVLF).Hope4Communities helps bring people together around a shared vision for lasting community change. It starts with a champion — someone who invites others to join the story, builds relationships, and helps unite faith leaders into a coalition of churches.From there, those faith leaders build bridges with other parts of the community, including education, government, healthcare, nonprofits, business, sports, media and the arts, and philanthropy.When leaders across these different areas work together around the needs and strengths of their community, a Hope4Community is formed.The Hope 4 Christmas Store is one way Hope 4 Centerville and Kettering puts that vision into action — bringing churches, organizations, businesses, and individuals together to serve local families and strengthen our community.
