Hope Soap, a collaboration between Outside In and Optimistic Soap, was created to fund life-giving services to local LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness.

Every time a bar of Hope Soap is sold, a $14.25 donation will be made, thanks to the generosity of some community-minded businesses (for a total of $1,425).
