Are you in need of assistance?
Through the help of the Baptist Disaster Relief and the American Red Cross, we are able to provide thousands of meals each day. You can come to pick up a hot lunch starting at 11 AM on Tuesday. There will also be ice and cases of bottled water available. Free laundry trucks allow anyone in the community to do their laundry starting at 7 AM each morning. Drop off, and pick up a few hours later.
If you need help cleaning out your house or cleaning up your yard, you can come to sign up for a work team to visit your house. These are all volunteers and will do all of the work, but you need to sign the request form. Or call 239-318-0681. Please take advantage of any of these offerings that you need.

Today is a reminder of why we do what we do. Yes, we want people to have food, water, and clean clothes but we also desire to be relational with people and encourage those in our community through prayer.
How has God blessed you in this season to talk and pray with others in our community?

Hello New Hope family!
I pray that each of you has the strength and opportunity to show God's love in a tangible way to your friends and neighbors.
