Banners to Bags Sustainability Zone
New Hope Network Sustainability Program is partnered with Esperanza Productions to repurpose banners from our previous events into sustainably made one-of-a-kind bags! Attendees visited the Banners to Bags Sustainability Zone to see firsthand how banners are transformed and learned how to sew their own bag to take home. Our partner, Esperanza Productions, not only supports waste diversion, but also helps provide job opportunities for individuals overcoming barriers such as addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and immigration challenges. Join us in keeping materials out of the landfill and promoting sustainability at our events!
