About Ladder of Hope

For more than 15 years, Ladder of Hope has brought our community together to celebrate stories of courage, recovery, and renewal. In just one powerful hour, you will hear inspiring firsthand accounts from clients and community members whose lives have been transformed. Your support propels our mission forward. Together, we can ensure lasting change in the lives of the individuals served by Guild each year. The funds raised directly support our person-centered services—from mental health crisis services to supportive housing and employment.
