Hope Network is incredibly grateful to the RHI Legacy Foundation for awarding us a grant centered around creating healthy living opportunities for the women we serve!

At Hope Network, we believe recovery is about more than overcoming addiction. It’s about rebuilding lives, restoring hope, and learning to care for our minds, bodies, and spirits. Opportunities that encourage healthy living are an important part of helping women build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and a brighter future.

We are thankful for the RHI Legacy Foundation’s commitment to improving health and wellness throughout Rutherford County through initiatives that support healthy eating, active living, and overall well-being.

Thank you for investing in our mission and in the women who are working every day to transform their lives. Your generosity helps us continue creating opportunities for growth, healing, and lasting change.

We are grateful for the opportunities that RHI Legacy Foundation is giving numerous organizations throughout our county to make a difference in the lives of its citizens!

Yesterday we shared about Tina’s 1 year of sobriety. Today we are sharing a project that the Lord has laid on her heart.

Hope Network is collecting donations of new, white undergarments and basic clothing items for the local jail. We’re opening this opportunity up to our community and asking for your help!

We are collecting NEW items in various sizes for both men and women:

👕 White T-Shirts
🩲 White Underwear
🧦 White Crew Socks
🤍 White Sports Bras

THESE MUST BE WHITE ONLY!

📅 DONATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED NOW THROUGH OCTOBER 12TH.

📍 DROP-OFF:
A donation bin will be available at Element Church on Sundays.

📩 NEED A PICKUP?
Send Hope Network a Facebook message, and we’ll be happy to arrange a pickup when possible.

Every package donated is an opportunity to meet a basic need and remind someone that they are seen, they are valued, and they have not been forgotten. 🤍

If this drive is successful, we hope to make it something we can do again in the future!

Thank you for helping Hope Network give back to our community!
