Bridge of Hope

One Table. One Bunk Bed. Two Changed Lives.


Join us for the Bridge of Hope Dinner Auction, an evening of community, compassion, and purpose in support of Albany Helping Hands.
When you purchase a table, you are doing more than attending a dinner. You are providing a bed, a meal, and a safe place for someone experiencing homelessness in Albany.
Enjoy a meaningful night with dinner, auctions, and stories of hope from those whose lives have been transformed. Your support helps us continue offering shelter and a path forward to those in need.
Be part of something powerful. Help us build a bridge to hope.

Location: Hope Church Family Center - 2817 Santiam Hwy SE, Albany, OR 97322
Date: September 4, 2025 5:00 -10:00 PM
