Dear Friends,

When I was in second grade, in late December, my teacher said, “This is the last week of school. School ends for this year after this week.” Not being the sharpest pencil in the box, I thought, “School ends for this year? It’s not going all the way to the first of June? How did this happen? Is there something wrong with the building that we cannot go on? Do my parents know about this, and will they believe me when I tell them? This is awesome!”

This year, the Mission is asking local churches to partner with us and fill hundreds of Hope Tote bags. Each bag will be filled with large hygiene items for low-income families in our Transitional Housing Program, or travel-sized products for those in our emergency shelter. The Mission will distribute Hope Tote bags to participating churches to be filled by congregation members. We ask that all donations be returned to our Ministry Outreach Center by Thursday, April 1st. For more information, please contact Katie at kgayle@denrescue.org.
