🌼 Spring Check-In! 🌼

Hi everyone! As we head into a new season, we wanted to check in with our community.

What needs are you seeing around town right now? Are there any ideas for projects, drives, or events you’d love to see The Hometown Hope Project do this year?

I will be putting out an event calendar soon with some really fun things we will be doing as a community!

Your ideas help guide what we do, so please feel free to comment or message us anytime.

We’re grateful for this community and the way everyone comes together to help one another. 💛

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
As we leave 2025 and enter 2026 I would like to thank everyone who donated, volunteered, shared a post, showed up, or simply believed in what we’re building through The Hometown Hope Project.

We have put brand new shoes on over 250 kids/adults.
We have warmed up over 100 families with blankets and clothing.
We have supplied school supplies and other essentials for over 50 children.
We have fed people.
We have filled Christmas Stockings.
We have supported one another's small businesses.
We have spent time together.
We have prayed together
WE HAVE BECAME A FAMILY.

This started as a vision on my heart, and because of you, it became real. People believed in it. People stepped up. People showed love in ways I will never forget. That kind of support is humbling and overwhelming in the best way.

What we’ve done together proves that when a community comes together with compassion and purpose, real change happens. I’m beyond grateful for each and every one of you who helped make this possible.

I can’t wait to take everything we’ve learned, everything we’ve built, and step into 2026 with a bang. This is just the beginning and I’m so thankful you’re walking this journey with me. 💛💚💛💚
