Volunteers stepping up and stepping in! Great job to our partners at One Community and their first class Volunteers!

Thanks to the entire gang for stepping up and covering in the kitchen this week when we were a bit short on help.
Nancy managed the morning like a champ. Jana and Kathy came from Fox to pitch in. Food was yummy, as always. ALL of our volunteers are a huge blessing. The words “thank you” do not convey our gratitude. ❤️

A little late spring cleaning? Allow the items you no longer need to serve a new family!

Support your community and some of our amazing partners: Mustard Seed Furniture Bank of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne Habitat for Humanity ReStore, The Lighthouse: A Place of Restoration, Franciscan Family Thrift Store

We are teaming up with Mustard Seed Furniture Bank of Fort Wayne, The Lighthouse Family Thrift Store, and Franciscan Family Thrift Store for the annual Spring Into Hope Donation Drive this Saturday, May 30!

This drive-thru event makes it incredibly easy to clear out your clutter while supporting four local organizations that serve families and individuals right here in our community. Just pack up your car, drive through, and we will handle the rest.

🗓️ Saturday, May 30 from 9:00 a.m. – Noon
📍 Mustard Seed Furniture Bank (3636 Illinois Road, Fort Wayne)

👍🏼What we’re collecting:
Gently used clothing, linens, toys, housewares, furniture, building materials, appliances, and lawn/garden items. (Please ensure items are clean, working, and free of rips, stains, or pet hair).

💡 Pro-tip: If you can separate your items by category and label your boxes/bags, it helps our teams sort and distribute everything much faster!

🚫What we cannot accept:
Paint, chemicals, pianos/organs, computers/printers, tires, window blinds, or TVs older than 10 years.

We’re grateful to work alongside these fantastic organizations to make a greater impact together. See you this Saturday morning!
