New Hope Ministries

This past weekend, we met a young mother of two girls. Like most parents, she wants the best for them. Each day, she rides 2 buses to get her girls to school. Every afternoon, she does the same thing to pick them up. She spends the few hours she has left searching for a job, applying for transportation for her daughter, who has special needs, and doing all of the “typical” things of running a household. It’s a lot, but this mom does everything with a smile and with gratitude because she remembers when her days were not so happy.

When she walked into her apartment, her smile quickly turned to tears. She was overwhelmed by the transformation. It’s pretty amazing what you can do when people come together to bless someone else. It’s also amazing how you can give someone their dignity back by hanging a beautiful picture on the wall or giving them a new comforter for their bed. We are so excited to celebrate our 600th family, but there are a lot more people out there who need our help. Join us!

April is National Volunteer Recognition Month. We are incredibly grateful for the heart, time, and energy our amazing volunteers pour into everything we do.
Their dedication to create safe spaces and restore hope reminds survivors they are not alone. The work they do is powerful, often unseen, and always deeply impactful. From the individuals who repair tv’s and paint furniture to others who show up on a Saturday morning to fully transform a home. We are so thankful for every donation that comes through our doors.

Thank you for caring deeply and for making a difference where it matters most. We simply couldn’t do this without you!

This week, New Hope tackled a different kind of project for one of our partner agencies that helps victims of domestic abuse. The agency had been gifted a house to be used as transitional housing for families going through their program and asked New Hope to furnish it and help make it feel like a home. Our volunteers worked tirelessly to furnish and decorate peaceful bedrooms, welcoming living spaces, an inviting dining room, and even a tranquil backyard sitting area to create a safe home for the families who will live there. We are so honored to be a part of the recovery journey for victims of domestic abuse as they rebuild their lives, and we are so grateful for the generous service of our incredible volunteers who make transformations like this possible.
