Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene has left many communities struggling to recover. With your support, HopeMill has been on the ground, offering support, time, and resources to help displaced families. Our teams are working tirelessly to coordinate recovery efforts and provide the support necessary to help communities rebuild stronger than before. But there is still so much work to be done.

Supporting Resilience Through Scholarships

In addition to immediate disaster relief, HopeMill is dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through our Resilience Scholarship program. By investing in the education of those impacted by hurricanes and other hardships we can help build a more resilient future. The Resilience Scholarship offers financial support to students who have shown incredible determination in the face of adversity, giving them the opportunity to continue their education and make a positive impact on their communities.

Keziah's Story

Awhile ago, we mourned the loss of Keziah Caton—an extraordinary soul who radiated kindness and dedication. Juggling a full-time role at Hoodsly and pursuing her dreams as a committed student, Keziah left an indelible mark on our hearts.

In the face of tragedy, our Hoodsly family united, emphasizing the importance of love and support. Keziah’s passing prompted us to cherish each day, express love, and prioritize what truly matters.

To honor a legacy of compassion and resilience, we established HopeMill—a nonprofit dedicated to providing assistance to those in need. Through HopeMill, we share uplifting stories of community and perseverance, turning our annual efforts into a testament to the values that inspire us. Our mission is to bring hope and support where it’s needed most, ensuring that our impact continues to grow and make a difference in the lives of others.
