We are closed for volunteers and donations from June 28-August 2 for inventory

Stories of HOPE

With improving pandemic conditions, we hope to be able to meet again with our clients in the near future so that we can bring you more Stories of HOPE.

Stretching Our Dollars

As you might know, dressers are a frequently needed item for our HOPE clients.

In May, we took a drive down to the Pax River Naval Air Station where we collected 40 dressers and 36 night stands of excess inventory for a nominal price per piece. In taking advantage of this government surplus, we now have a full inventory of these furnishings to meet our coming needs.

We try to be proactive in preparing for what people who ask for our help might need, and at the same time, spend donations wisely when we have to purchase things to meet inventory demands.

Thank you for trusting us with your donation dollars, and know that we strive to use them wisely.

We are kicking off our next set of Restaurant Nights with a special double fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse! In our survey, the Roadhouse was our most requested restaurant, and they have two ways to support their community nonprofits.

First, you can order an e-Gift card from June 7-July 5, which is a great way to buy your meal in advance.

Then, use the e-Gift Card at our July 13 fundraiser!

The e-Gift Card gives HOPE 10% back, and all purchases at the dining out night gives 10% back as well, so if you buy your meal in advance, HOPE will receive 20% back in total!

Once you order your e-Gift card by clicking on the flyer below, Texas Roadhouse will email it to you within three days after the end of the sale. Then you can bring a paper or electronic copy and use it at the July 13th event.

Everyone who attends Texas Roadhouse from 3-10 p.m. on July 13 needs to give an event flyer for HOPE to receive credit. We’ll put an electronic copy in next month’s newsletter or you can pick one up at HOPE For All.

We hope you will mark your calendar and consider participating in our Restaurant Nights in the coming months. The schedule through September is below:

We HOPE to see you there!

Volunteer Appreciation

Volunteers can take a cheerful flower home this week for the month of June appreciation.

“I pray I can be of help to change someone’s life like you guys helped change my home!!”

Nicole

As we wrap up our fiscal year at the end of June, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the support you’ve give HOPE this past year.

The kitchen table you gave us is now in someone’s apartment, where a mom and her two kids can sit down and eat together. The money you donated bought beds for the family. The raffle tickets you bought at our online auction helped us buy them new underwear. Your donations of your old pots, dishes, sheets, and towels have found a second life with this family who was starting all over again from scratch.

We are incredibly grateful for the faith and compassion that inspires you to help us serve our families. As Jesus said 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

Please know that you are making a difference with your donations. We at HOPE For All are blessed to have your support.

Heavenly Father,

You are the Creator of all that is good, living and non-living. You are all goodness mercy, love, hope, and forgiveness that our world so desperately needs. So often we remember to turn to you in times of need and not just to take time to pause and give You the THANKS, GLORY, PRAISE, and HONOR You deserve. Now is the time to both give You the glory due Your Name but also to ask for the needs of our world.

Every morning we awaken, during this time of the year, to the drums of the cicadas raising their voices to honor You God as the Creator and Giver of all that is good. We see the beauty of the new flowering plants. We experience Your glorious sunrise and sunsets. We see all the signs of Your new creation with the birth of the birds, rabbits, shrubs, and trees. There is always the sound of the new babies born and the wonderful miracle of life so precious.

However, Lord, our nation and world are torn in strife. We have lost sight of all the values of life. We live in a time of much disruption and chaos. We see more and more of the destructive forces of evil. Where are the signs of goodness, respect, courtesy, and most importantly the value of life? We are so entrapped by power, greed, dishonesty, corruption, war and violence.

We know that You are a God of Mercy and Love. You are compassionate, kind, merciful and gentle. We must turn to You in these times of disruption.

We ask Your blessings on the world and in particular Your family at HOPE For All. May we continue to serve all of our brothers and sisters with sincere compassion and love. May our hearts continue to burn with the zeal of humility and service. May we continue to give with an abundance of charity to Your lambs and sheep, who truly struggle. May we remain compassionate and go beyond our resources to do Your will, knowing full well You will guide and direct us.

We pray all this in the Name of Jesus Your Son and our Brother, AMEN.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL DADS
