Please join us at 6:30 p.m. April 9 for our New Life fundraising dinner and auction, which will be held at St. Noel Banquet Center in Willoughby Hills. In addition to more than 200 silent and live auction items, which include award-winning art, Walt Disney World tickets, a private, catered dinner for 10 from Martorana Personal Caterers and more, you will hear first-hand experiences of how Project Hope is changing lives.

This year’s dinner is sponsored by Truline Industries, John and Noreen DeSantis, Fredon Corporation, The Sadar Group and French Chiropractic and Wellness Center.

Project Hope is not just a place to eat and sleep but is also an organization that provides a goal-oriented program staffed by people who truly care about our guests’ well being.

Our program has three phases and a maximum stay of 90 days. Guests are able to arrive at 7:00 p.m. each evening with a reservation. Reservations can be secured by calling 211 from any land line in Lake County or 800-654-5465 from a cell phone. Guests depart at 6:30 a.m. and are transported to the Salvation Army at 69 Pearl St., Painesville.
