In January, we asked what questions YOU had for Children’s HopeChest’s President and CEO, Ken Sparks. It was delightful to read the questions that poured in! The questions verified what we have always thought — that our HopeChest community is thoughtful, fun, creative, and passionate about making a difference.
In this month’s episode of “Build Relationships. Break Poverty.” you asked and Ken answered. We are featuring eight questions from HopeChest Friends, community members, and HopeChest program participants. Wil Crooks, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships reads your silly, serious, and heartfelt questions in this unique episode.
“I went home, looked at the [Children’s HopeChest] website, and my heart started pounding, just pounding and jumping out of my chest.” Ken Sparks on the first time he heard about HopeChest
