This year, Voices of Hope (voicesofhopelincoln.org) marked its 50th anniversary by centering the stories that have always defined their mission—survivor voices, expressed through art. To commemorate the milestone, they curated an exhibit featuring work by twelve artists and participants from three support groups, creating a powerful visual narrative that honored grief, resilience, and the courage required for healing.
Over the past year, Voices of Hope served 2,878 survivors, developed 3,564 personalized safety plans, provided support to 255 survivors in emergency rooms, received 752 referrals from law enforcement, and facilitated 1,158 warm handoffs to additional community resources.
They are deeply grateful to their supporters, partners, and donors whose commitment makes this work possible. As they look ahead to the next 50 years, they invite the community to continue standing with survivors and supporting Voices of Hope in creating pathways to safety, healing, and hope.
