THANK YOU
I just wanted to say Thank You from both of us for the beautiful poinsettia which blessed us with a note of cheer through the holidays. We don’t get out much now and so it continues to add color and brightness to these dreary January days. -Dale and Willa Verburg

REQUESTED ANNOUNCEMENT
From all of us at Hope Unexpected, we want to thank you for adjusting your church’s schedule to accommodate the needs of our program. It is such a blessing for the women and their children to be able to meet in a place where they feel safe.
Our program currently has 15 moms and 28 children, and are getting calls each week of more moms that want to join. They love the time they spend together having dinner, and actively participate in the Faith talk each week. Their children are learning about how much Jesus loves them.
In addition many of our moms are participating in professional mental health counseling, which has been very beneficial as many of our moms have struggled with depression and anxiety during covid. We also have 8 moms currently matched with a volunteer mentor. Our car care program is regularly utilized to help women achieve self-sufficiency by having transportation to be able to maintain their employment.
We are in need of additional volunteers to provide meals on Monday nights as well as child care volunteers and mentors. If you know anyone that is interested in learning more please have them email Connie at connie.hopeunexpected@gmail.com
