Dear Friends & Partners of Mission of Hope,
We wish to thank you for your continued generous support. After the Flood of 2008, Mission of Hope expanded its hours & services, providing pantry food, meals, clothing, cleaning & hygiene supplies, referrals and temporary shelter in our sanctuary. We went into emergency & then recovery mode ... and you responded. Because of you & the help you have given us, we have been able to meet the needs of those in our community - and beyond. Thank you for the volunteer hours you've donated, as well as your financial gifts and your prayers. When we've needed you, you've been there.
As with many places, the need is great at Mission of Hope. We are currently serving free lunch to between 130 - 170 people every day throughout the week, and our food pantry reaches between 1,100 - 1,300 people each month! Our Shelter consistently houses 12 people every night - we are always full. Thank you for your gifts of time, service, prayer, food, meals, and clothes.
Mission of Hope is always in need of your financial support as well. With your help, Mission of Hope can continue to meet people's needs, stay current with our operating expenses & pay our growing staff. As an ecumenical ministry, we exist because of your contributions. You may send your tax-deductible cash donation to:
Mission of Hope 1537-1st Ave SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-5123
We are very grateful for your ongoing support. May you be blessed in your giving & in your service to Him. If it's been awhile since you've stopped in, please come visit us. We'd love to show you around!
Serving Him together,
Rev. Barbara R. Furman, Founder & Executive Director & Mission of Hope Board of Directors
