Learn More About One Hour Cares

And who we’re helping in Hampton Roads

One Hour Cares donates $5,000 every quarter to a small local organization. We choose three finalists each time from the below directory and invite you to “like” your favorite on our homepage. The winner is chosen by a lottery system with chances to win based on the number of “likes” you give each finalist.

While only one finalist wins the $5,000 prize, we invite you to learn more about each organization and consider supporting them yourself. Our goal is to shine a light on some good people doing great work in our community.
