High Hope Freeport Guided by the High Hope narrative, we believe in fostering hope and resilience by empowering individuals and families to rise above trauma.

High Hope Freeport builds a safer, more connected Freeport by addressing community violence through youth engagement, mentoring, education, support services, and entrepreneurship—while linking High Hope areas to resources and supporting the impacted. High Hope Freeport (HHF) is committed to ending gun violence in the Freeport community by building strong, supportive neighborhoods through peace initiatives, trauma-informed care, and mentorship. HHF’s mission is to support the transformation of high-hope areas, connecting those areas to meaningful resources, and enhancing social consciousness through activism. HHF engages directly with the community to reduce violence through working directly in neighborhoods, connecting individuals to programs and services, providing mediation, mentoring, and support for individuals impacted by violence, and creating positive relationships and fostering peacebuilding activities at the neighborhood level As a boots-on-the-ground organization, we implement anti-gun violence programs and initiatives that directly address the needs of our community, providing education, resources, and healing to those affected by gun violence. Through partnerships, outreach, and active engagement, we work tirelessly to create a safer, more peaceful Freeport where every resident can thrive without fear of violence.

Cold, ready to grab, and looking for a treat to go home with. 😉

Who’s giving this one a try? 🙋‍♀️

And please let me know your thoughts! These are kiddo approved, but I’m curious if you guys think they are too sweet and need more tang or if they are perfect the way they are! 💕

Pay attention to where your life is going. It’s easy to get comfortable following what other people think you should do, especially when you trust them. But you still need to see things for yourself, ask questions, and understand the direction you’re headed. If you don’t open your eyes and choose your direction, eventually somebody else will choose it for you.

Come out and show support.
