News for the week

A HOPE Store Update
Each year during the summer the number of customers who come to the HOPE Store increases drastically and this year is no exception! The two biggest requests that we get each week are fans and toiletries (deodorant, soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc.). If you have any of these items, our customers would greatly appreciate them. Donations are taken Monday through Thursday 9-4 or on Friday from 9-2.

A FAITH Warehouse Wish list
There are several people in the community without a bed to sleep on. We have mattresses but no frames. If you have a twin or full bed frame or even a twin or full bed set that you could part with, please contact us at 309-676-3000. Other needs include dressers, tables and chairs.

Get Hype
Mission Peoria is just around the corner! There is just under a month until 150 teenagers take the city by storm. If you haven’t signed up yet, talk to Corey ASAP and sign up today! Get ready to BREAK FREE!

A BIG Thank You!

We would like to thank all who came out to help last Saturday for the HOPE Store workday. There were about 60 volunteers and we got a ton done! We couldn’t have gotten everything done without you!
If you want to be a part next time, we will be having another workday sometime this fall. Keep checking the site for more information!
