Donations for Hannah's Hope

Now that tickets are booked for our first trip, we are ready to begin collecting donations for Hannah's Hope.  Hannah's Hope is the AMAZING transition home for many children whose lives are changing.  At HH, these children receive love, tenderness, food, clothing, warm beds, beautiful rooms and most of all, a safe place to process all that is changing in their little lives.    We hear nothing but positive comments from those who have visited HH and look forward to meeting the wonderful staff who have poured their hearts into little man and baby girl.

If you would like to contribute donations, you may bring them to the tote labeled "Hannah's Hope' in the old foyer of our church (FEFC) by Dec 18th or contact us to arrange a pick up time for your donations.  We will be taking the donations with us to HH when we leave in 2 weeks!!!!!! (Yipee!!!!)
