Hope for the Holidays, presented by IU Credit Union, is our eighth annual holiday tree festival to benefit New Hope for Families, serving families overcoming homelessness right here in our community. Come see dozens of unique and festive holiday trees decorated by local businesses, organizations, groups and families. The festival is free to attend and open to the public.

At New Hope for Families, we believe that every child deserves a safe place to sleep and every family deserves a home — and hope — for the holidays! The holiday season is a time for traditions, family, and coming together as a community. Hope for the Holidays is a Bloomington tradition that brings the magic of the season to life while helping fulfill the mission of New Hope for Families: In our community, no child will sleep outside. Not tonight. Not ever. Join us to celebrate Hope for the Holidays!
