Dear Friends of the HOPE Chest,
Lives are being changed through the several programs that The HOPE Chest Stores of Central Illinois offers to our counties and its communities. We see it every day. HOPE in action. When we strive to live God’s way and share His resources with others, Galatians 5:22 tells us that He brings gifts into our lives in much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard – things like compassion for others, peace, patience and self-control.
And when you give your most generous year end gift, you will add fruit to your heavenly account. Thanks to you and our faithful supporters we have been able to:
On behalf of these individuals and families, we thank you for helping them find H.O.P.E. and saving their dignity.
I recently helped an elderly man out with a winter coat and boots. Others on our team have helped single parent families with beds for their children. We’ve been able to partner with other like-minded agencies as well. Without your help, these chapters in each story would go unfulfilled. Today, people are fed, they are able to keep their pets; their children received Christmas presents, and many have become self-sufficient all because of your generosity.
Every day, your support makes stories of these families POSSIBLE!!
Today, we are launching our 2016 Year End Campaign. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by December 31st. If we raise this amount, we’ll be able to continue offering these programs. We need your help to make it happen.
Would you be willing to make a special year-end donation of $50, $100, or whatever you can afford to help us meet our goal. Winter is here. There are many families in need of our assistance. We simply can’t do it without you. Your support will make a real, lasting impact in the lives of those in Central Illinois who are still in need.
Please donate by mailing a check to The HOPE Chest of Pekin, NFP PO Box 1331, Pekin, IL 61555
or give online by clicking on any of this DONATE button.
You can also donate gently used clothing, linens, furniture, appliances, beds, etc…
You may call Sue Kerr at 309-620-9043 to arrange a free pick-up.
Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
With gratitude,
