Hope Delivered

Everyday items can ease stress for families and give children a stronger start. Through the collection and packing of specific items, Hope Delivered boxes can be provided for families in important moments. A box of baby care items for a new mom as she begins navigating her way as a parent. A collection of household cleaning supplies for someone starting over in a new home. Basic hygiene items for someone struggling to make ends meet in a difficult chapter. We welcome volunteer groups to help us in the this effort and be a part of making someone’s next chapter brighter and more hope filled.


Filling Hope Delivered boxes is a great project for groups looking to volunteer together and give back!
