Help Our Kids
Campbell Nelson Volkswagen Helping Olive Crest Kids
We are so grateful that through June 30, Campbell Nelson Volkswagen is giving back to our kiddos! Every car sold during this time will help send a kid to camp. We are proud to partner with Campbell Nelson Volkswagen and are thankful for the way they give back to our community.

We’re gearing up for helping 300 more children suffering from, or at-risk of, abuse—but we still need your help to make it all happen. Any gift is welcome, and gifts of $500 or more will be honored with a personalized Leaf on our Family Tree in the House of Hope lobby.

Funds Raised for Kids by Bowling in P.J.s!
Held this past month, Sleep Train’s Pajama Bowl was a huge success! At this annual event, attendees get to bowl in their P.J.s to raise money for foster kids. The total funds raised by all our teams have yet to be announced, but our staff team, Time to Spare, raised $1,900. We are so grateful for the 12 teams that brought energy and excitement to the night in order to help raise funds for our kids and families. We couldn’t have done it without you!
