Another opportunity to help more people! We'll be distributing an additional 17 Bags of Hope to individuals in recovery housing this week just in time for Christmas! This brings our total to 280 Bags of Hope this Christmas season which is 120 more than last Christmas! God is good! We've already received feedback from multiple recipients that have expressed their gratitude for these much needed items and resources. Thanks again to all of our supporters that made this happen!

This week we were able to deliver 263 Bags of Hope to 10 different sober living homes and rehab centers! We saw firsthand just how meaningful these bags were to the people receiving them, and we even got positive feedback from several residents who shared how much it meant.

Thank you to EVERYONE who played a part in making this happen. Whether you gave your time, donated, or kept us in your prayers—every bit of support truly made a difference.

The holidays can be especially tough for many. If you or someone you know needs help getting sober or finding the right resources for recovery, please reach out. You can message us, call/text 440-745-HOPE(4673), or email [email protected]. We’ll do our best to help.

Thank you again for helping make this a meaningful and impactful 2025 Christmas season. We couldn’t do it without you!

Also, God gave us another opportunity to help others, and we’re so grateful for it. We’re currently putting together more Bags of Hope to share with people experiencing homelessness. It’s truly a blessing to be able to serve our community. God is good!
