A year of giving: New Hope Helping increased its support of New Hope School students to be the single largest contributor of scholarships for graduating New Hope High School seniors. In addition, the organization has funded the equipment and coordinated engineering services for the sound system at the new Asplundh Stadium. The group also helped fund the main hallway mural at the New Hope Lower Elementary school and donated to the NHS Band Boosters program to support the next generation of musicians.

The holidays are an important time for New Hope Helping when the group mobilizes to give support to families and seniors in need. At Thanksgiving, the organization funded 35 meals for families with Giant Supermarket cards for a complete thanksgiving dinner. New Hope Helping also partnered with Fisherman’s Mark to sponsor 30 seniors in need for the holidays. In addition, dozens of children received gifts for the holidays from Fisherman’s Mark with the help of funding from New Hope Helping. The group also partnered with the Gene Epstein Foundation to match funds to support holiday seniors' programs in Bucks County.

As the group looks to 2025, New Hope Helping will celebrate 75 years of serving the New Hope and Solebury communities. There will be festivities and a summer celebration with beautiful cars, great music and food.
