Accessibility Statement
This statement was last updated on August 8, 2025.
We at Hope in an Envelope are working to make our site accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility Statement
At Hope in an Envelope, we believe that kindness should be accessible to everyone.

Using clear fonts, high-contrast text, and easy-to-navigate layouts

Providing text alternatives for images and other non-text content
-
Ensuring forms are easy to complete and compatible with assistive technologies
In-person accessibility:
-
We strive to host events in venues that are wheelchair accessible
-
We aim to provide seating, clear signage, and, where possible, accommodations for those with hearing or visual impairments

Volunteers and staff are encouraged to offer assistance when requested
Ongoing improvements:
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are regularly reviewing and improving our website and events to make them more inclusive.
