Jobs of Hope to host annual fundraiser Thursday at Zoe’s Cafe in Greeley

A Greeley nonprofit that provides support to people transitioning out of the justice system will host its annual fundraising gala Thursday at Zoe’s Cafe & Events, 715 10th St.

Jobs of Hope will host “Hope Unlocked” from 6-8 p.m. — hoping to gather community members, supporters and advocates to help restore hope and transform the lives of those involved in the justice system, according to a news release from the organization.

Tickets are available at Tinyurl.com/4zcwp2wd. Tickets are $39.19, and all proceeds go toward furthering the organization’s mission of breaking the cycles of poverty, incarceration and violence, according to the release. Dinner will be provided, and the event will also feature a motivational program.

Jobs of Hope is a faith-based program that was started in 2013, according to the organization’s website.

“By empowering these individuals to rebuild their lives, Jobs of Hope not only benefits them but also helps reduce crime, recidivism and the associated costs on the community and criminal justice system,” the release read. “The organization’s motto, ‘the only time we look down on a brother is when we’re helping him back up,’ encapsulates its commitment to uplifting those who need a second chance.”
