Message From The Director

The Director's Article of Appreciation

June has officially arrived! The green of the earth has once again awakened. What a wonderful time for new beginnings; a time to refocus on life itself.

Here at House of Hope I see people starting to do just that: focusing on where they are in life and what is really important!

Waking up to new beginnings: beginnings only that have been made possible because of the love of God being shown every day through your support for your House of Hope. It is very exciting to watch people helping people.

Through churches, businesses, and even people who come up to someone from the board or staff out of the blue
wanting to know “What can I do to help?” this ministry is sustained. I would like to say thank you so much for your past and future support. There are many things that go into running a shelter, and only by the grace of God are we able to do so.

We received many needed supplies after last month’s newsletter, but we are still in need of a few other supplies such as shaving cream, dish detergent (not for a dishwasher), Pine-Sol, 409, and some shampoo. Again, thanks for the supplies that we received last month.

As the Director for your House of Hope, I want to personally invite you and some of your friends and neighbors to come see firsthand what a wonderful place God has provided here in Danville for our neighbors that are struggling with getting by at this time in their lives; those who need a hand up, not a hand out! People need to know that someone still cares and they get that feeling from you through your House of Hope.

Give me a call and let’s set up a time for you to come see firsthand that you can – and that you are – making a difference in many lives here at House of Hope.

To drop off supplies or set up an appointment to see your shelter please call me at 434.549.1459.

God Bless,
-Stephen Anderson, Director

HOH President's Message

If you were unable to attend the open house event on the fourth Sunday in May then you missed quite a treat! Neighbors from all around our area came to the House of Hope to see firsthand the incredible work that goes on at the corner of Patton and Ridge Streets every night of the month, every month of the year. We saw well over 100 people come to tour the facility, meet the staff and directors, and enjoy delicious food donated by our friends at Outback Steakhouse and some of our supporting churches.

Words of appreciation are due to everyone who came to take part in the open house event. Our staff members, Steve Anderson and Jerry Gunn, went far beyond the call of duty to prepare the shelter and create an environment of welcome and warmth that illustrated precisely the kind of care we seek to share with our homeless guests. I would be remiss if I did not mention by name a core group of volunteers who coordinated and planned for that day, as well: Archer McIntire, Helen McKee, Jimmy Russell, Elva Wasson, Gary Wasson, and Cheryl Wells were instrumental in planning a magnificent event. Likewise, several businesses, churches, and other organizations also had a hand in lending support to the day’s festivities,
too: Amy Cook Designs, Christ Episcopal Church, College Park Baptist Church, First Baptist Church, Galileo High School, Karen’s Hallmark, Motley Florist, Outback Steakhouse, New Life Community Church, and West Main Baptist Church.

All of this is to say that the event on May 23 was a living illustration of what makes the House of Hope the unique resource that it is in our city. We are an organization that is built on the collaborative, cooperative spirit of people uniting to serve other people. We pitch in, we lend a hand, we share our resources, we give our gifts and then we witness the power of a community banding together.

For all who have given to make this ministry a reality, we thank you. For all who have now seen firsthand the impact that is being made in people’s lives, go and tell others. The more we have to share in the service of our guests, the greater the good that we will ultimately do for our community!

Grace and peace,
Stephen Cook
President
