Help Us Keep Up with the Need

When we look back at 2019, it’s important to look behind the scenes, see the trends in the demand for Hope’s Corner’s services, and recognize that it’s only with your help that we’ll be able to keep pace next year.

Consider these numbers:

• From January through October of 2019, we served 8651 breakfasts. This represents an 8% increase over the same period in 2018.

• On November 16 of this year, we served breakfast to 241 individuals, the most we’ve served at any of our breakfasts since December of 2016.

• In 2018, our operations budget was $107,185. To support serving breakfast to more guests each week, purchase a used van for picking up food, and pay the salary for our first and only employee – a part-time kitchen manager, we increased our budget in 2019 to $163,897.

When you look beyond the numbers and get to know our guests, you’ll find that Hope’s Corner really does make a difference in their lives. Some come almost every week, while others show up randomly. Some are housed, while others sleep in their car or on the street. Some have mental issues and addictions, while others are just hungry and looking for a place to feel appreciated and good about themselves.

Regardless, all are welcomed at Hope’s Corner!

As we approach the final days of 2019, we ask you to keep Hope’s Corner in mind. If you already donated to Hope’s Corner in 2019, we thank you for your generosity and support. If you haven’t donated, please consider Hope’s Corner as you plan your year-end giving (http://www.hopes-corner.org/donate). Even though we’re a lean operation that runs almost entirely on volunteers, we need your financial support. Thank you!
