Hope Services extends our deepest gratitude to the Gilroy Foundation for awarding us a generous grant that has brought dance classes to the Gilroy Day Program. This opportunity has brought so much joy to both our staff and participants, and we are incredibly excited about the positive impact it is already having.

When our participants step onto the dance floor, something truly magical happens—they light up, move with confidence, and express themselves in ways that words sometimes can’t capture. Dance has become a powerful outlet for creativity, self-expression, and connection. Many of our participants have discovered a new passion for music and movement, revealing sides of themselves that are rarely seen in other settings.

Beyond the joy and fun, these classes also offer meaningful health benefits. From increased physical activity to improvements in mental well-being, including reduced anxiety and stress, dance is proving to be a valuable addition to our holistic approach to care.

Thank you, Gilroy Foundation, for helping us make moments like these possible. Your support is making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
