We are delighted to announce that HopeWorks is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Since 1985, we have been at the forefront of providing shelter and supportive services to the homeless community in the city of Albuquerque.

This special event not only commemorates four decades of service but also helps us raise crucial funds to continue and expand our efforts to support those in need. The gala will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC), and it promises to be an evening of impactful stories, entertainment, and community spirit.
