September 15th, 2020

When someone is lost and in search of hope, it is important to go to God for guidance and understanding. Especially during these trying times.

As children head back to school they enter the classroom with new shoes, school supplies, and uniforms.

A Blessing In Disguise

August 7th, 2019

Birthdays are a great time to reflect and celebrate a new year of life. It is also a time of gift giving and making someone’s wish come true.

A Little Bag of HOPE!

February 22nd, 2018

Living on the streets can rob a person of many things. Generally, the first to go is personal hygiene and soon after that, the alienation sets in.
