We again want to thank all community partners for lending a hand to their neighbors in need. Since Hope’s Front Door re-opened, on May 20th, with curb-side services we have assisted over 750 adults and children. Your support has had an immediate impact upon area families!
In May, Sarah called into Hope’s Front Door after losing her father to COVID-19. Not only reeling from grief, she also faced the financial implication of being laid off and the expenses as a result of her father’s illness and death. Sarah said, “I’ve never been in the position to need help and Hope’s Front Door is the first place I called. Right, now I am just worried about putting food on the table for my children.”
She appreciated being able to receive food vouchers and toiletry items to help her and her children. In addition, Hope’s Front Door was able to direct her to free counseling services to help address her grief and anxiety.
Sarah was understandably upset, and through her tears, expressed her gratitude. “I didn’t even know all of these resources were available. I can’t thank you enough for the help I am receiving,” she said.
So, again thank you for your support of our neighbors. A special Thank You to fundraising sponsors and community partners:
