Kids of HOPE Back to School Bash 2013 - An Outstanding Success!

Thank you to our community, church coalition, local businesses, donors, volunteers, partner organizations and everyone who made HOPE Helps, Inc.'s 5th Annual Back to School Bash a huge success! 

You helped us to provide backpacks, school supplies, vision screenings, clothing and toiletries for over 500 children!

  

Most importantly, it was a wonderful experience for our client families who are extremely grateful that their children were able to start their first day of school with everything they need.

Here's what our clients had to say: 

"I've been laid-off for about a year! I want to thank you all for your help. I've always worked and helped with donations when working. Never thought one day I would need your services. Again, thank you and God Bless You!"

 "Since losing my job last October and not able to find a new one, the purchase of school supplies began to become a burden which I was not looking forward to facing. With this Back to School Bash, that burden went away. I praise the Lord for supplying our needs with this event."

"It helped me get back to school supplies for 3 kids that I couldn't afford. Our family greatly appreciates all the help and support we have received. All staff members were extremely kind and friendly! My overall experience was excellent plus! Thank you so very much. God Bless."

We also want to say a special "Thank You" to our friends at The Sharing Center who worked side by side with us to make this event a huge success.

University Carillon United Methodist Church donates proceeds of CD to Hope Helps, Inc.

3 Nails CD Cover

On Friday September 21, 2012, University Carillon United Methodist Church (UCUMC) held a promotion concert to launch its CD “3 Nails”.  The event was well attended and donations were collected to cover the cost of producing the CD. The Worship Ministry unanimously voted to donate any proceeds earned from the CD to Hope Helps, Inc.  Last month, UCUMC Worship Ministry donated $1000 to HOPE.

The CD was the vision of Mike Conrad, former worship Leader at UCUMC.  The music chosen was an assortment of Christian music performed by their Praise Team and Voices of Carillon choir which are played during their regular worship services.  With the exception of 3 staff members, all musicians on the CD are volunteers who have amazing talents and put in many hours preparation each week to provide a solid and memorable worship every service.

Worship Service at University Carillon United Methodist Church

The CD took 1 year to complete and it contains beautiful traditional and contemporary worship music that is usually performed at the church.  You can listen to some of the songs here.  CDs are still available for purchase for $10 at the church or you can buy online via ITunes here. Any additional proceeds received will continue to go to HOPE.

“Helping HOPE has been a mission I have felt very strongly about since its inception, and I am so glad we were able to give something back to HOPE to help our local families in crisis,” said Carrie Christensen, the Worship Assistant at UCUMC. 

We want to whole-heartedly thank everyone at University Carillon UMC who was involved in the making of this “3 Nails” CD and who have contributed to its success, as well as everyone who has shown their support by donating or purchasing CDs. HOPE Helps, Inc. sincerely appreciates the donation and we continue to work towards putting every single dollar to good use by helping those in need in our community.
