Hope Fund

hope fund logoThe Hope Fund is a new program created collaboratively by the City of Rolling Meadows Human Services Department and the Police Department. It serves as the nonprofit arm of the City. Each year, the Human Services Department find themselves in tough positions as they attempt to find resources to alleviate the financial hardships that come about after a crisis. The most prevalent cases often involve domestic violence victims ending an abusive relationship or a child experiencing sexual abuse. These are just two examples of the many devastating and life-altering situations that our residents frequently face.

Before the Hope Fund was established, our Human Services Department had to ask for favors of various churches and non-profits to see if anyone could help our most vulnerable crime victims, disaster survivors, and other persons in crisis. This new program allows for funds to be available so that when these emergencies arise, the social service providers can immediately assist individuals and families with their unique needs.

The Hope Fund solely depends on charitable giving from our most compassionate community members. Funds collected mainly via gofundme.com will be disbursed by the City of Rolling Meadows Human Services Department directly to the payee. Please consider donating if you can:; and know that any and all funds raised go directly to assist survivors. Any amount is welcome, and it will make a tremendous difference in the lives of those who need a bit of hope towards a brighter future.

El Fondo de la Esperanza es un nuevo programa creado y administrado por el Departamento de Servicios Humanos de la Ciudad de Rolling Meadows. Cada año, el Departamento de Servicios Humanos se enfrenta a situaciones difíciles mientras intenta encontrar recursos para aliviar las dificultades financieras que surgen después de una situación de crisis. Los casos más prevalentes a menudo involucran a víctimas de violencia doméstica que están terminando una relación abusiva o a niños que revelan haber sido víctimas de abuso sexual. Estos son solo dos ejemplos de las muchas situaciones devastadoras que alteran la vida que nuestros residentes enfrentan frecuentemente.

Antes de que se estableciera el Fondo de la Esperanza, nuestro Departamento de Servicios Humanos tenía que pedir favores a diversas iglesias y organizaciones sin fines de lucro para ver si alguien podía ayudar a nuestras víctimas de delitos más vulnerables, sobrevivientes de desastres y otras personas en crisis. Este nuevo programa permite que los fondos estén disponibles para que, cuando surjan estas emergencias, los proveedores de servicios sociales puedan ayudar de inmediato a las personas y familias con sus necesidades únicas.

El Fondo de la Esperanza depende exclusivamente de donaciones caritativas de nuestros miembros más compasivos de la comunidad. Los fondos recaudados, principalmente a través de gofundme.com, serán distribuidos por el Departamento de Finanzas de la Ciudad de Rolling Meadows directamente al beneficiario. Por favor, considere hacer una donación si está en condiciones de hacerlo. Cualquier cantidad es bienvenida y marcará una gran diferencia en las vidas de quienes necesitan un poco de esperanza para un futuro más brillante.

Every dollar brings hope to a neighbor in crisis. Whether you give $10 or $1,000, your donation makes a meaningful difference.

 Celebration of Hope "Soaring to New Heights"

Our annual Celebration of Hope was an inspiring evening filled with community spirit, generosity, and heartfelt connection. Together, we celebrated the strength of Rolling Meadows and the collective compassion that uplifts our neighbors in times of need.

Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, donors, and guests, we raised vital funds for the Rolling Meadows Hope Fund, which provides emergency assistance and resources to families facing unexpected hardship. Your contributions ensure that hope continues to shine for those who need it most.

A special thank you to our Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsors, our local businesses, and every individual donor whose kindness made this event possible. We also extend deep gratitude to our volunteers, staff, and community partners for their dedication behind the scenes.

This year’s celebration reminded us that when a community stands together, hope grows stronger.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue to make a difference — one family, one neighbor, and one act of kindness at a time.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Rolling Meadows Human Services Department.
