Pennies
for the ChildrenH.O.P.E. Charities is a non-profit organization that assists disadvantage families, particularly those comprised of single mothers and their children. Many of these families come from abusive environments. Families receive food, clothing, furniture, personal hygiene products, household goods, baby products, and diapers. In addition, financial literacy, health education, parenting classes, and youth mentoring programs are provided. HOPE is a volunteer-based and operates without paid staff.
Each week,
a "Pennies for the Children" offering is collected during our worship service to
support HOPE Charity. Our young children receive this offering
of pennies or pocket change. Everyone in the congregation participates. The children as well as the rest of the congregation
share in the
joy of being a generous community that helps others in need.
