ExPANDING HOPE

I have had the privilege of being on staff at xHope for the last two years. I could tell you countless stories of impact, of young children receiving their first pair of brand-new shoes or exploding in excitement over a Spiderman backpack. I could tell stories of grateful parents in our xHope Hub with tears in their eyes as they receive a bag of clothing, or the joy of volunteers giving a child their first Christmas gift. I could explain to you how God has provided for xHope again and again and again, with new connections or donation drop offs or successful fundraisers. I can tell you how lives are being transformed - staff, volunteers, and families - every single day. 

The best news that I can tell you is that YOU can be a part of all of this. Physically, yes, by volunteering at an event or donating, or helping in our warehouse. Spiritually, too, by praying over us and our ministry. But today, the best way that you can be involved in xHope is through giving. 

We have a bold goal this year - $100,000. This money is vital for us to continue supporting local youth and families with immediate resources, as well as opportunities for extracurriculars, scholarships, and outreach events. You can be a part of bringing hope, love, and support to local foster youth, unhoused families, single-parent households, refugee children, and families experiencing financial hardship. 

In 2024 alone, we served almost 1,000 local youth at least one time. This number is projected to grow this year as the need in our community is growing. Donating towards xHope will help provide:

• Back-to-school supplies, clothing, and new shoes
• Comfort Kits of blankets, pajamas, and stuffed animals
• Hygiene Kits with full size products
• Access to extracurricular activities
• Enrichment programs and academic support
• Community-building outreach experiences

This is more than a fundraiser — it’s an opportunity to be part of something BIGGER. Together, we can meet essential needs, create joyful memories, and offer real hope to youth who need it most in our own school districts and neighborhoods.

Will you multiply hope this Big Day of Giving?  Every dollar makes a difference — and every share spreads the impact. Together, we can change the trajectory of a young life. Thank you for your support.
