Big thanks to all for generous help

Housing Hope held the 13th annual Stone Soup dinner, our largest fund-raiser of the year, on May 16 and had phenomenal results. With the assistance of 60 fantastic table captains, we had the highest attendance in our history (600 guests!) and we were able to net more than $238,000!
