🎉Did you know that next year, we will celebrate FIFTY years at L'Arche Tahoma Hope? It will be our golden anniversary.

Here is the story David Rothrock told of our founding in 1977.

Do you have a L'Arche Tahoma Hope story to tell? Have you been transformed by the mutual relationships you've formed? We would love to hear about it! We are collecting written, spoken, and video stories as we get ready for our 2027 Gala Auction on March 6, 2027.

You can post them here or reach out to Karrie Zylstra at [email protected]. We'd be happy to help you write or record your stories too!

And stay tuned—we'll be sharing more stories soon! You are such a part of what we do and we are so grateful.
