You are warmly invited to a special free screening of Sound of Hope at the Brenau Downtown Theatre (301 Main St, Gainesville, GA).
This powerful film tells the inspiring story of a community in Possum Trot, Texas, who united to confront the foster care crisis, demonstrating the profound impact that collective action can have.
After the screening, we will host a brief but meaningful panel discussion addressing both the foster care system and the tragic link to human trafficking, which all too often targets children who age out of foster care.
We encourage you to join us and invite your co-workers, board members, civic groups, and faith communities for this important event. The event is free to attend, but we kindly ask that you register using the registration link below to help us plan accordingly.
We hope to see you there!
