Hope Street Choir was started to bring together our unsheltered neighbors with the community so all reconnect with hope and possibility through the healing power of music. It meets weekly at the Shasta County Arts Council on Fridays 10:00am-1:00pm. There is connection time, breakfast and then practice of our vocals for performances we have coming up.  We practice every week and then perform for various events around our city: Black History events, MLK events, senior events, care facilities, 4th of July, celebrations, school field trips that visit us and more. We will perform at the Garden of Lights for the fourth time this year; it gives each one of our members the opportunity to tour the event and is the highlight of all of our holiday season as many have never celebrated the holidays. We enrich our community as we come alongside them and help them overcome hurdles in their lives, such as, childhood trauma, challenges and addiction.
