Supporting Ardyn Hope INC

Ardyn Hope is a nonprofit 501c3 organization whose mission is to empower and improve the quality of life for low-income and at-risk families through formal and informal community resources in an effort to shape a more holistic community. We offer a wide range of cost-free events and programs to the community providing a wraparound approach to engagement.

Our programs, such as our 6-week support groups, which include our Teen Group for ages 13-16, our Parents Group, and our Women's Group. Facilitated by licensed therapists, the participants of these groups often continue to support each other we after they conclude. We also provide mentorship services for youth ages 9 - 16 as a reminder to that our environment is not indicative of our future. These are just some examples of the communal work Ardyn Hope Inc. does.

Additionally, we provide clothing and food assistance through our "Ardyn's Closet" and "Ardyn's Pantry" initiatives. Clothing and food donations collected during our quarterly drives go to benefit low-income and at-risk families who need helping hand. Because Ardyn Hope Inc. understands the uncomfortable hardships families face in the day-to-day, we work to be support system they can rely on. To fill this need, Ardyn Hope Inc also collects monthly donations of diapers and wipes to families with newborns and children up to 36 months in age. This initiative, "Ardyn's Future," currently serves 25 teen mothers in need of this kindness. These programs were birthed from our strong altruistic belief that every child deserves a chance to succeed. This is why Ardyn Hope partners with families to build and strengthen essential skills and resources needed to thrive throughout life.

We have already seen success following our 1st Annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive were we supplied over 200 children with necessary tools they need to start the current school year. The joyous faces of the children who received their bags, and the signs of relief from the parents only cemented the impact we have begun to make. Feedback collected from parents of the event reported that 100% found our service to be beneficial. Following the events success, we have begun to dream bigger and plan greater to continue to make an impact in lives of Dallas residents.

Ardyn Hope is currently seeking funding for start-up projects. The goal is to pay for board training, initial insurance, and operational costs. Currently, the entire staff is volunteering. As a result, the net worth of our volunteers and the donation of our facility space drive our net worth. Donors like you help ensure the longevity of the services Ardyn Hope Inc. provides, as well as provide a foundation for us to grow. With our growth, new initiatives will be created to address even more communal needs.
