2019 Hunks4Hope Calendar
Men Vs. Domestic Violence
Men are often seen as the problem when they are in fact a part of the solution.
Hunks4Hope was created in order to expose victims of trauma to men of good character. Men who care, and men who are willing to support. This unique partnership creates a harmony between the male and feminine energies that promotes growth through understanding, compassion, and teamwork
