What a fun night for our “Little Buddies,” and Optimist Club mentors! Thank you, Paris Optimist Club, for all you do for our youth.

This Friday, Feb. 20th, is Real Hope’s day to provide items for the Helping Hand auction. Real Hope annually receives support from the distribution of auction funds. I am asking supporters and friends of Real Hope to submit bid items for this day. We want to do our part to assist nonprofits across our county.

A Message from Our Director:

2025 was a record year for Real Hope Youth Center! To our supporters and friends, you may — or may not know — that 2025 was a year of personal challenge (health) for me. However, God continued to bless and confirm our vision to provide a full-service youth center for the youth of Paris and Henry County.

Many of you may be aware, that a supporter of our efforts left us over a half million dollars in their will. However, I am happy to report to you, that aside from that great news, we have had our single greatest year of donations in Real Hope history.

Thank you supporters and friends! We are pursuing this vision, and we — with your continued help — will deliver!

Mr. Carl

This morning I was listening to The Hometown Morning Show with David Jackson. His guest was Angie Gallimore, Director of Tomorrow’s Hope, here in Paris. I was reminded of my appreciation for this nonprofit’s good work in our community. God bless Angie, and God bless the mission of Tomorrow’s Hope!

I believe in the sanctity of human life!
