Partner With Us to Bring Hope ❤️

Every day, we have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. Through your support, we are able to share hope, love, encouragement, and practical assistance with those who need it most.

Our mission is:

“To bring unity to communities while showing the joy and love of Jesus to others through gifts, acts of service, and prayers of Hope.”

Because of our amazing supporters, we are able to:

❤️ Deliver Christmas gifts and cards to nursing home residents who may not have family nearby.

❤️ Provide over 200 HOPE Bags each year to individuals experiencing homelessness. These bags contain necessities, snacks, hygiene items, and encouragement.

❤️ Partner with local evangelism teams to pray with people, share God’s love, and offer hope to those facing difficult circumstances.

❤️ Assist residents in our community with donated medical equipment, mobility aids, and other needed resources.

❤️ Support seniors, veterans, families, and individuals who are struggling by connecting them with practical help and compassionate care.

Every donation—whether it’s $5, $25, $100, or more—helps us continue reaching people who may otherwise be forgotten.

Isaiah 41:10
“I am with you, so do not be afraid. I am your God, so do not be upset. I will make you strong and I will help you. My powerful right hand will keep you safe.”

If you would like to partner with us financially, please send me a message or use our QR code and giving platforms. Together, we can continue making a difference, one act of kindness, one prayer, and one life at a time.

We are excited to share our new QR code! Simply scan it to be taken directly to our giving platforms.

We are so grateful for each and every one of our ministry partners. Your generosity allows us to continue reaching people with the love of Jesus in practical ways. Because of your support, we have been able to provide Christmas cards and gifts for nursing home residents, individuals experiencing homelessness, and residents in our building.

Our HOPE Bags continue to be distributed on Mondays alongside the evangelism team from Identity Church. These bags are more than just supplies—they are opportunities to share kindness, encouragement, prayer, and the hope found in Christ.

Every donation, prayer, and act of support helps us impact lives and remind people that they are seen, valued, and loved.

Our Mission Statement:
“To bring unity to communities while showing the joy and love of Jesus to others through gifts, acts of service, and prayers of hope.”

Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to serve our community and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We truly could not do this without you. ❤️

Last week we had the opportunity to visit Hanover House, a nursing home in Massillon. This was our first visit to this facility. One of our ministry team members is currently there for rehab, and we were so excited that she was able to put on her ministry shirt and join us as we ministered to others.

We helped with bingo, brought prizes, and of course plenty of goodies! Our team made homemade Jello with fruit, and it was a huge hit with the residents. The favorite prizes were flags and candy🇺🇸🍫

While Barb and Claire were helping with bingo, John and I went room to room visiting and praying with those who were unable to leave their rooms. Those quiet moments of prayer and encouragement are always so meaningful.

It is such a blessing to spend time with these precious seniors. We love sitting at the tables, helping them find their bingo numbers, listening to their stories, sharing smiles, and reminding them that they are loved and not forgotten. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference in someone’s day.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these visits possible. We are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to serve others and share His love.

Last week, I was shopping at the Total Living Center store. The wonderful ladies who work there know about our ministry.

One of them came to me and said she had been talking with a gentleman who wanted to donate a scooter. She asked if I knew anyone who could use it. Immediately, several people in my building came to mind. She shared my number with him, and we connected.

His name is Leo, and he repairs and refurbishes scooters and wheelchairs. My husband picked up the scooter on Monday, and it was absolutely beautiful—it looked brand new.

We chose a neighbor and had the privilege of blessing her with the scooter. The smile on her face was priceless.

I continue to be amazed at how God orchestrates connections and provides exactly what people need at just the right time. What started as a simple shopping trip became an opportunity to bless someone in a life-changing way.

God is so good!

God always has a purpose for delays.

Yesterday, the ramp on our van broke, and I found myself scrambling to arrange transportation for my doctor appointments this week. Thankfully, I was able to schedule rides through SARTA Proline for today and Friday.

My appointment today wasn't until 11:30 a.m., but they picked me up at 10:00. Since I arrived so early, the doctor was able to see me at 10:45! 😃

My return ride wasn't scheduled until between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m., so I had plenty of time to wait at the hospital where my doctor's office is located.

As I was sitting there, I remembered that a friend had surgery at the same hospital yesterday. I called to see if he felt up to having a visitor, and he did! We had a wonderful visit, and I'm happy to report that he seems to be doing well.

After leaving his room around 1:15, I headed back to wait for my ride. While I was there, I met a gentleman in a power wheelchair who was waiting for his wife to pick him up. He rolled past me several times before finally stopping and asking, "Should I be worried that my wife isn't here and she's not answering her phone?"

I handed him one of our ministry business cards and told him that if she didn't show up, he could call me and I would find a way to help him get home.

A little while later, he headed toward the parking deck to see if he could find her. About twenty minutes later, I saw him again—but this time he was riding in a van with the window down, waving, smiling, and shouting, "I found her!"

They even drove back around from the parking deck just to let me know everything was okay. 💕

Every morning, I ask God to bring the people He wants me to help into my path.

Today, He answered that prayer in such a beautiful way.

He’s so cool.

What a great day! ❤️

Earlier today, I received this message from an Evangelism team member from Identity Church. This reminds me of how even the smallest acts of kindness and encouragement can have a lasting impact on someone’s life. Moments like these remind me why we continue to show up, serve, and share hope with our community❤️

This is the message:
We prayed with a young man named Anthony last night downtown. He recognized your Hope bags and had on a bracelet from you!

🌟 Congratulations to Deborah, our June Volunteer of the Month! 🌟

Deborah first began serving by helping with some of our events. It wasn’t long before she felt called to become a part of our ministry team, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her serving alongside us.

When she’s not volunteering, Deborah enjoys coloring, listening to music, and spending time outdoors enjoying God’s beautiful creation.

When asked why she wanted to join our team, Deborah’s answer was simple and heartfelt: “Because I love God and people.” ❤️

Thank you, Deborah, for your servant’s heart, your dedication, and the joy you bring to our ministry. We appreciate all you do and are honored to recognize you as our June Volunteer of the Month!

👏 Join us in congratulating Deborah in the comments below! 👏

A couple of days ago we put up an electric dart board in the game room, and it has already been bringing people together! 🎯 We also bought extra darts so more people can join in on the fun.

One of the goals of our ministry is building community and creating spaces where people can connect, laugh, and make memories together. It has been so nice seeing conversations start, friendships grow, and people simply enjoying time together. Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference. ❤️

A special thank you to Betsy for donating 4 soft, beautiful, warm blankets to our ministry. ❤️

These blankets will be such a blessing when the cold weather arrives. For many people facing difficult circumstances, something as simple as a warm blanket can bring comfort, warmth, and a reminder that they are not alone.

I love when my friends catch the vision of our ministry and come alongside us to help serve our community. It means so much to see others use their kindness and generosity to help bring hope to people who are hurting.

Thank you for helping us share love, dignity, warmth, and compassion one act of kindness at a time. ❤️
