For many at Christmas, the struggle is real. It's filled with worry and stress rather than the joy of the season. To meet this need in a practical way, we started our very first outreach in 2008 called Hands of Hope.
WHAT DOES "PRACTICAL" LOOK LIKE TO US?
Each household receives:
- Two large bins of groceries; everything needed for Christmas dinner, plus extra groceries for the holiday season
- Prayerfully selected gifts for children in the home
- To the door contactless delivery
Since 2008, we delivered:
- to over 1010 homes
- to over 3700 people
- over 2200 bins of food
- over 2040 personally selected and wrapped gifts
While COVID-19 may change how we do things this year, it is still our heart to bring hope to our community.
HOW CAN YOU BE THE "HANDS OF HOPE" THIS YEAR?
