Yesterday we received an AMAZING donation of 150 pairs of Bombas socks and 19 shirts! ❤️🧦👕

This generous donation was made by Regina’s Winter Drive, and they are always ready and willing to help us! We are so incredibly grateful for their continued support and for believing in what we do. ❤️

Every donation, big or small, helps us reach more people and share the love and hope of Jesus. Thank you, Regina’s Winter Drive, for helping us make a difference! ❤️

Thank you Lydia Lee for delivering them to me❤️

People often ask us, “Why do you go to nursing homes?” ❤️

This voicemail from the activity director at Canterbury Villa is exactly why we do it.

We love seeing the JOY in their eyes when they get to pick out a gift after winning bingo. We cherish the personal connections made when we sit at a table with them, laugh together, listen to their stories, or go room to room to visit those who can’t leave their rooms.

These moments may seem small, but they mean so much. 🥹

I’m so thankful God is using Not Alone: A Ministry of Hope to bring love, joy, prayer, and connection to people who are often overlooked and lonely.

This is why we go. This is why we serve. This is why we keep saying, “You are not alone.” ❤️🙏

We had such a wonderful time at Canterbury Villa! ❤️

We spent the afternoon helping with bingo, sharing snacks, and handing out prizes. But one of the most special parts of our visit was going room to room to pray with those who were unable to leave their beds. 🙏❤️

Every person matters. Every life is valuable. We are so grateful for the opportunity to bring a little joy, encouragement, and hope to the residents we serve.

A HUGE thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who gave their time, love, and hearts to serve others. You are making a difference! ❤️

Today we had our Walking Taco fundraiser, and once again, we were reminded that God provides through the hearts and generosity of others. 🌮❤️

Every donation helps us reach people who are often overlooked and underserved and remind them that they are NOT alone. 🙏

🎨✨ What a blessing!

Last week, we received a HUGE donation of craft supplies—18 totes, about 6 boxes, a large 2-drawer storage unit, 3 bags of supplies, and even a Bow Maker Pro! 😲❤️

We’re having a craft sale in September, so I called all the ladies who signed up to come help sort through everything. They had an absolute blast! There was lots of laughter, excitement, and plenty of “I want this!” moments. 😂

But the blessing didn’t stop there. We donated the remaining supplies to Just Imagine Art Studio, where adults with developmental disabilities create beautiful, one-of-a-kind art. 🎨❤️

I love watching God take one blessing and multiply it into blessings for others. What a beautiful reminder that when we give, it can keep giving! 🙏❤️ Thank you Shelly❤️

Last week, I was invited to a new Bible study that just started at Centennial Plaza, and I just have to share it with you all. It meets on Monday evenings at 6 pm at the picnic tables, and it lasts about 30–45 minutes—but don’t let the short time fool you… it is POWERFUL.

We gather together as a community to pray for our city. We pray for our government leaders, for the lost, for the homeless, and for all of God’s children. There is something so beautiful about coming together in unity, lifting up our city and believing God for change.

If you’ve been looking for a place to connect, pray, and grow in faith, I truly encourage you to come and join us. There is room for you. ❤️

God has a way of placing the right people in our lives at exactly the right time. ❤️

I am continually amazed at how He surrounds this ministry with people who don’t just support what we do, but truly have a heart for it.

The other day, we received three donations, and while they may seem like simple things to some, I see so much more in them. I see God’s provision. I see obedience. I see love.

❤️ Gail donated two boxes of toothbrushes for our HOPE bags. Something as simple as a toothbrush can mean so much to someone who is struggling and doesn’t have access to basic necessities.

❤️ Joe donated four bottles of body wash for our Welcome Baskets. We give these baskets to people who have just moved in, hoping they feel welcomed, cared for and reminded that their new beginning matters.

❤️ Jennifer purchased little Jesus figures from our Amazon Wishlist to put in our HOPE bags. I absolutely love this because each little figure is a reminder of the One who is our HOPE. A reminder that Jesus sees them, loves them and has not forgotten them.

Sometimes I wonder how we are going to have everything we need for the next outreach, the next HOPE bag or the next person who comes across our path.

And then God provides.

He always seems to send someone at just the right moment.

That’s why I know this ministry isn’t about us. It belongs to Him.

We simply say, “Yes, Lord. We’re willing. Use us.”

And He takes care of the rest.

To everyone who has donated, prayed, volunteered, shared our posts or simply encouraged us along the way—please know that you are part of this ministry too.

Every toothbrush. Every bottle of body wash. Every little Jesus figure. Every gift. Every prayer.

God uses it all.

Together, we are able to remind someone who may be hurting, lonely or struggling:

You matter. You are loved. You are seen. And most importantly…you are NOT ALONE. ❤️

Thank you for helping us be the hands and feet of Jesus.

I’m so grateful for every person God has placed on this journey with us. And I can’t wait to see what He does next. 🙏❤️
