Hope to Hold on to

In just a few weeks, we will be launching our annual Hope Tote Campaign. We’re announcing it now because we’re going to need help from caring friends to get ready to distribute Hope Totes to need Grand Rapidians, beginning in February and continuing until Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012.

If you’re new to our Mission family, you’re probably wondering, “What’s a Hope Tote?” It’s a small plastic bag that can be filled with inexpensive, unused or travel-size items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tissues and socks and distributed to homeless people to help them clean up and feel better about themselves. When they do, they’re more likely to make other changes that can be transform their lives forever!

Our Hope Tote Campaign is a meaningful way for you, your family, your church or business group to get together and make a difference. We supply the Hope Totes. You simply fill and return them by Easter Sunday. Soon those little bags will be in grateful hands, giving our neediest neighbors “hope to hold on to!” For more information please call (616) 454-8249, ext. 223.
