Hello! I’ve missed you! It’s been busy! Finally created an Instagram account for Mission For Hope. Please follow:  https://www.instagram.com/missionforhopeinc/

Today Mission For Hope partnered with Good Hope, the Christian Jeep Association to distribute over 200 new backpacks and blankets to the homeless in Boston. The backpacks had 17 items which included new hats, gloves, socks, water, juice, snacks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, washclothes, luggage tags, pens and Bibles. Also distributed were handmade hat and jackets.  We hadn’t done outreach in Boston since January because of safety concerns. Since January conditions have gotten so much worse. It’s some of the worst conditions I’ve seen in this country since I’ve been doing outreach with my Jeep the last three years. Please pray that things change in Boston and more services and shelters are made available for the poor, sick and addicted.

Saturday's Christian Jeep Association Drive Away Hunger event was outstanding! Christian Jeep Association Chapter # 1and Chapter #18 worked in partnership with the Southbridge Community Bridge Fridge, Chick-fil-A Worcester, the No Fear motorcycle club, Adult & Teen Challenge, and students from College of the Holy Cross to prepare and run the Net of Compassion Worcester’s weekly Meals on Main Street. Additionally, both CJA MA chapters & Mission For Hope donated over 200 sweat shirts and sweat pants, coats, hygiene kits, and other much needed items to Net of Compassion's faith based emergency shelter; Hotel Grace!

Today Mission For Hope and the Christian Jeep Association distributed 120 backpacks at a few different locations in Lowell, MA. We got to pray and share Jesus’ love with lots of people throughout the day. Backpacks had 17 items in them including a Bible and gospel track.  We partnered with Good Hope, Inc. and a few faithful supporters to make today happen. Thank you! #takesavillage

It was a wet day and a very busy day. We cooked a dinner for a shelter in Salem and delivered 80 backpacks filled with stuff and a Bible to facilities that help the homeless in Beverly, Gloucester & Lawrence, MA.  #takesavillage  #doinggoodtogether #goodhope #missionforhope #christianjeepassociation
