HOPE Seeking Support for Christmas Program

HOPE of the Grand Valley is seeking volunteers to adopt local families for its Christmas program, saying it needs new supporters as it serves more families this year. Applications from families seeking gifts are due Nov. 23. The nonprofit also accepts donations from people unable to sponsor a family. Separately, a Nov. 15 event in Grand Junction will raise funds for a scholarship program tied to the city’s sister-city relationship with El Espino, El Salvador.
