😲Just one month into our Annual Yearend Gifts of Hope Fundraiser, we have had 788 Donors raise over $425k, including commitments of over $30,000 a month in New Sustaining Donors!

🟣Most of the $428,000 is committed giving for 2027 by new Sustaining Donors. This really helps us Budget through the leaner months of giving and allows our Supporters to set it and forget it, assuring year round support.

🫶Thank you all!!!

🤔Imagine if all of our 33,000 Social Media Followers were to commit to $10 a week, we would meet our entire 2027 projected Budget of $17,000,000!

💜Please prayerfully consider becoming a Matthew’s Hope Sustaining Donor by committing to a Monthly Gift of $10, $25, $100, more or less. Your gift, all gifts of any size, makes a difference in the life of another.

This year we had an internal commitment to donate our time, utilize our team and put our $$ where our mouth is. We have now provided OVER 1000 meals to the the guests of Matthew's Hope, Orange County . This would not be possible with out assistance from some community partners who also stepped up and donated to the cause. We appreciate you. Also our BBC team members who donate their time to come serve. We have 2 more feedings scheduled this year
Which will put us over 1200 meals.
And a SPECIAL mention to my beautiful wife Teresa Raphael who pushes me to be a better human.
Where was she today (on her 60th Birthday)? Up at 6am cooking for today's service, then serving all before going to work.

In this episode of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, presented by Imagine Marketing, Pastor Scott and Shelley discuss the mayor of Aurora Colorado's experience sleeping in a homeless shelter.

Aurora, Colorado Mayor Mike Coffman has taken an unusual approach to understanding homelessness in his city. Since late February, Coffman has been spending every Friday night at the Aurora Regional Navigation Center, a 600-bed facility that he helped create and that he hopes can eventually become a model for addressing homelessness.

Coffman says doing this week after week has changed his perspective. He says he's come to better understand just how different the circumstances are that lead people into homelessness—from addiction and mental health challenges to job loss, eviction, domestic violence and simply living paycheck to paycheck. He has said the experience has made him more compassionate and less likely to view people experiencing homelessness as one single group.

Pastor Scott and Shelley discuss what someone could learn from that experience as well as what can't be learn unless you are actually homeless with no place to go home to the next day.

Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.
