Thank you for considering donating to HOPE AACR. Your donations and support will go toward supporting the organization in our mission to bring comfort to those affected by crises and disasters. Please know that we are an all-volunteer organization. Your contributions go directly to the work we do. Donations help in many ways, such as defraying the costs associated with training and certifying new crisis teams, developing training programs and materials, and helping to reduce the out of pocket costs our members incur when they deploy.
