About This Event
Let's gather around the table, break bread together, and absorb the words and wisdom of one of the best-selling authors of today. This year's Luncheon of Hope speaker, Jen Hatmaker, is best known for her NY Times bestselling books: Of Mess and Moxie, For the Love, Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire, and Feed these People. This fall, she releases her much anticipated memoir, Awake. When Jen isn’t writing top-selling books, she engages audiences nationwide and is also creator of the Jen Hatmaker Book Club, where she connects with thousands of women over good reads. She is also the mom of five and a soon-to-be grandmom.
Besides being a gifted speaker and author, she’s also the creator, curator, and host of the For the Love Podcast, featuring guests such as Heather Land, Kelly Corrigan, Stanley Tucci, Kate Bowler, Anne Lamott, Malcolm Gladwell, and Christine Blasey Ford.
Your ticket purchase or sponsorship directly supports our mission, empowering us to expand our programming and continue nourishing our neighbors in need. It is an investment in the community we serve.
- Book sales begin at 11 a.m.
- Luncheon 11:30 a.m.
- Meet and Greet 1 p.m.*
*Limited Meet and Greet packages available — includes book signing and photo with Jen Hatmaker.
