House of Neighborly Service (HNS) hosted its inaugural Hope Blooms fashion show at The Life Center, where 90 guests watched models glide down the runway. The event raised more than $11,000 to support the basic need services HNS provides, including food, clothing and utility assistance. HNS saw a 20-percent increase in demand for these services in the first quarter of this year, and events like Hope Blooms help offset the rising costs of providing stability for the community. Among the generous attendees who showed their support were Miss Loveland Valentine Ella Pettit, Teen Universe Petite Colorado Iris Tamo and Mrs. Longmont 2025 Michelle Deines.
