Lighting Up the Season, Lifting Up a Child

Every light on our display helps bring toys, food, and hope to foster children in our community.

Who We Are

Hope with Lights began with a simple idea:

The idea: that light itself can be a form of hope. What started as a home lit up for the holidays has grown into a full synchronized Christmas light show — built from the ground up, one string of lights and one pixel at a time — with a mission bigger than the display itself. 

Why It Matters

Foster children often face the holidays with more uncertainty than joy. Hope with Lights exists to change that — one light, one toy, one small act of generosity at a time. We believe a community that shows up for its most vulnerable kids is a stronger community for everyone.
