Immersive museum highlights stories of service, resilience and hope

Please consider joining us and promoting this free, public event.

What: Catholic Charities of Lexington will host People of Hope: Faith-Filled Stories of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a nationwide, traveling storytelling museum designed to amplify the profound impact of Christian service.

The People of Hope Museum is an initiative of Catholic Charities USA, the national membership organization for 168 independent Catholic Charities agencies that collectively, last year, served more than 16 million people regardless of faith, addressing needs ranging from food insecurity and housing to disaster assistance, health care and family support.
Housed in a retrofitted tractor-trailer, the People of Hope Museum is an immersive experience that brings to life more than 40 professionally produced video stories featuring staff and volunteers of Catholic Charities agencies across the country sharing their meaningful, memorable encounters with families and individuals in need.
The museum also includes a recording studio where visitors can share their own stories of hope and service. In addition, visitors can experience an interactive poverty simulator, gain a greater understanding of poverty in Kentucky and across the United States, and listen to recordings of book excerpts about poverty, social isolation, bridgebuilding, and community action.
