in 2025 Gemma's Hope partnered with local grief counseling center, KinderMourn to host Deloitte at the KM house for a day of service and impact. With almost 20 volunteers we organized fundraising materials, constructed a Little Free Library & installed it in the front of the house, and our biggest undertaking: repainting and decorating a space to be functional as a "Zen Den" for KM therapists to unwind & connect between therapy patients.

In 2026, we are again partnering with Deloitte at the KinderMourn house to restructure a play therapy room + assemble ~500 Held in Hope Care Packages that Gemma's Hope will distribute to partner hospitals in the area.

Here's what Deloitte' website shares about their annual Deloitte Impact Day (a day of service for all US Deloitte employees):

A day of service. A legacy of impact.

"As a purpose-led organization, Deloitte has been making an impact that matters for 180 years. And we’re excited to continue our tradition of coming together to drive transformative change in the communities where we live and work.

During our annual day of service, Deloitte professionals can engage in more than 1,200 in-person and virtual projects across more than 100 US cities—projects that support our multi-year commitments to help drive positive impact in our communities.

On Impact Day, and every day, we do what we do best: bring our passion to strengthen our communities and build connections. Because together, we make our purpose possible."
