Sip & Shop for Hope: Presented by Donor Nexus

Hopeful Mama Foundation’s (HMF) third annual Sip & Shop for Hope, presented by Donor Nexus, was a heartwarming and joy-filled morning on September 27. Held at Stillwater Coffee Co. on a sunny Saturday, the event brought the community together from 8am–12pm. The coffee shop’s cozy interior and lively patio were buzzing with conversation, laughter, and excitement as over 150 attendees explored local vendors, connected with friends old and new, and sipped on delicious handcrafted beverages.

Sip & Shop for Hope is more than just a shopping event; it’s a celebration of women supporting women. This special morning not only connects our community, but also shines a spotlight on women-owned local businesses that nurture and inspire. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, this year’s event raised over $5,200 for the Hopeful Mama Grant. We are so grateful to all of the amazing vendors who made the morning shine with their talent, energy, and passion:

• Beautiful Life Atelier
• Kate and Alivia Boutique
• Inspire Movement
• Her Creations Jewelry
• K.Lorene Designs
• Young, Wild & EZ
• Rooted 3.19
• Sweet Julie Marie
• Modern Valley Hair Company
• Sugar Coated by Danni

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased our always popular swag bags filled with high quality samples, sweet treats, coupons, and handmade items from local businesses. A big thanks as well to everyone who supported Stillwater Coffee during the event with 10 percent of proceeds going to HMF. Your kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity including online donations truly make a difference.

We are so grateful to our wonderful 2025 Sip and Shop sponsors, Donor Nexus, Van Meter, and Stillwater Coffee. Your support helps bring this special event to life.

Most of all, we are thankful for the chance to meet so many incredible supporters and to connect with amazing local businesses. Events like Sip and Shop for Hope remind us why community matters, and we cannot wait to see you all again in 2026.
