SEEDS OF HOPE Drive
SEEDS OF HOPE take root the moment a patient enters the doors of Valley Hope. Through the addiction treatment process, seeds of hope sprout into a desire for a new way of life.
Mary’s journey to recovery is just one of many. She came to Valley Hope hopeless and defeated but left with a renewed sense of hope. Once a women who shrank from the world, she now radiates with hope and purpose.
By supporting the SEEDS OF HOPE Drive, you provide patient essentials such as clothing, cost of dental visits, treatment books and assistance with sober housing rent deposits. Valley Hope’s Patient Essentials Fund is driven 100% by donations. This year, we have helped 932 patients with essentials, but now have very limited resources to get us through the year. The need is still great.

The 1967 Circle
THE 1967 CIRCLE is an honorary donor society initiated to acknowledge, honor, and recognize individuals who have included Valley Hope Foundation in their estate plans.
Utilizing a bequest in a simple will, a trust document, insurance or other estate vehicle, these individuals have planned to leave a gift at their death for the benefit of Valley Hope patients. Doing so, these donors create a legacy of generosity and assistance to future generations who must fight to overcome their addictions.
THE 1967 CIRCLE is dedicated to developing planned gifts and honoring these donors in perpetuity, as those who keep the Valley Hope circle of treatment and recovery unbroken. Valley Hope has provided an unending circle of recovery for half a century. THE 1967 CIRCLE exists to ensure this legacy of service never ends.

PARKER PROJECT
Valley Hope is committed to a $12 million expansion and renovation of the center. The BUILDING HOPE PARKER PROJECT CAMPAIGN serves to develop a portion of the funding for the expansion, with a working goal of $2.5 million. To date, nearly half has been contributed thanks to Colorado funders!
The treatment center has a waiting list for admission due to demand for services and a lack of recovery room detoxification (detox) beds. General overcrowding is evident in all areas of the center including the admissions center, dining hall, lecture hall, therapy rooms, community rooms, and parking. The Parker Project will expand the center and improve efficiencies of treatment services. The facility will receive a fresh face along with relief from the current cramped conditions. The Parker Project will reduce the waiting lists for admission. Click to learn more!
You can help us reach our goal! The impact of your charitable gifts will improve lives for generations to come.
