Portraits of Hope Gala
On May 31, 2025 our community will come together once again to celebrate the progress the Villa is making to elevate the lifelong health outcomes of our neighbors.
This year’s theme is “Villa Proud”! It represents an organization-wide philosophy. We believe in our clients to achieve success, and potential. We believe in our staff to guide them there, and to reach their own levels of job satisfaction that can be found nowhere else! We believe in our new hires to be tomorrow’s experts in their field. And finally, we believe in our friends and donors to support us — clients and staff alike — all along the way.
Your support helps us continue to provide integrated treatment services for mental health and substance use, special education for youth with social and emotional needs, in-home community care services, and our specialized Workforce Development program.

Holiday Wishes
Our Holiday Wishes program ensures that the youth and families served by the Villa receive gifts this holiday season. For some, these will be the only gifts they receive.
Stop by any Starbucks or Summit Federal Credit Union branch and pick up a wish tag. Then, drop your unwrapped gifts off where you picked up the tag.
Or, if you would rather, visit our wish list on Amazon and have your gifts delivered straight to our holiday workshop!
