Message From The Director
The Director's Article of Appreciation
There are many people and groups who have given their
time, money and talents to provide meals, clean,
paint, repair and bring needed supplies to the
shelter. Please know we are very grateful for all that
you do to help us here at the House of Hope. What a
wonderful community we live in! I feel so blessed to
be the director for the HOH.
At this time we have eight men and one woman as guests
and these numbers change daily. Guests are invited to
devotions every morning. We pray and read from God's
Word.
When you're at the end of your road and you don't know
where to go or who to turn to, isn't it wonderful to
be able to call on God for His help and protection?
Sadly, many people won't call on Him until they get to
the end of their means. We stand ready to assist in
any ways that we are able as our guests get back on
their feet.
Thank you so much Danville and the surrounding areas
for the support you give to your House of Hope! Please
know that because of your kindness and love for your
fellow neighbors there are people tonight who won't be
sleeping out in the cold behind a building, hungry and
afraid. In such a fallen world it is truly a blessing
to see people responding with love and kindness. Thank
you for your kind deeds and all your prayers for your
House of Hope.
God Bless,
-Stephen Anderson, Director
HOH President's Message
At the House of Hope we are regularly reminded of the
fact that this is a ministry that touches more lives
than we can ever fully know. Recently I reviewed
statistics that our director assembled from our first
year of operation and I was humbled to see that, in
slightly more than 12 months of operation at a 16 bed
maximum, we have served more than 170 guests in need
of safe shelter and a caring system of support. Were
it not for the dedication of staff, volunteers, and
donors who support this effort those guests would not
have had access to this kind of help anywhere else in
the city of Danville. All of us are partners in
something vital and I am grateful for each person who
reaches out to undertake this effort!
One of the most significant developments in the
physical facility at the House of Hope is that
construction is underway on our kitchen space. Thanks
to the funds received through the Community
Development Block Grant that was awarded by the city
of Danville in the latter days of 2009 we will soon be
able to prepare and serve food in the shelter. While
we anticipate and sincerely hope that our wonderful
relationship with Danville Regional Medical Center
that provides us our meals each weeknight will
continue, we also look forward to having a more
functional facility that includes kitchen space. Chuck
Van Allen from the House of Hope board of directors
has been the point person on this and several other
projects that are vital to the operation of the
ministry. We could not do what we do without Chuck's
leadership and service. We look forward to the day
later this spring, tentatively scheduled for mid-May,
when we will be able to host an open house for the
community and all of our supporters. Watch the April
newsletter for more details on the event. A team of
volunteers from our board and beyond are working on
this so that will fall in conjunction with the
anniversary of our move to the Ridge Street location.
In the meantime, please continue to lend your support
through prayer, time, and financial contributions to
this work that we are about. We are a strong and
essential ministry presence in our region thanks to
each of you working with us! A team of volunteers from
our board and beyond are working on this so that it
will fall in conjunction with the anniversary of our move to the Ridge Street location.
Grace and peace,
Stephen Cook
President
