An Amazing Few Weeks for A Day of Hope

The last few weeks have been amazing.

If you're on the A Day of Hope email newsletter list (if you aren't, you can sign up below) you've probably already heard that we exceeded A Day of Hope's goal of feeding 250 families for Thanksgiving.

Back in February we tentatively set the goal to feed 250 families this year, but when it was all said and done, we ended up feeding 294 families. This was something that we were very excited and satisfied to do because of the increased need in our community due to the poor real estate market and economic suppression that currently exists in California.

This year we saw elderly folks on disability, young single mothers with several kids to feed and working families who normally do not need assistance, but were put in a situation that they needed a basket of food and a turkey for Thanksgiving. Our mission is to simply give hope and encouragement to these families in need, and it's our hope that a basket of food and a turkey can give them what they need to someday not need our help. We hope that someday they can do the same to a family in need.

Here are some pictures from this year's event and feel free to sign up for A Day of Hope's monthly newsletter so that you can stay up to date with everything that we're working on.

I just wanted to thank Marion for giving A Day of Hope a little love on her blog.

It's always nice to know that other people believe in your cause and want to support you in whatever way they can.

A Day of Hope meeting

We're working hard to get ready for the many fundraisers, events, and food drives that we will be doing in the coming months to find a way to deliver 750 baskets of food and turkeys to 750 families this November.  A Day of Hope is a great organization, that is a lot of fun.  If you live in the Central Valley of California, you are more than welcome to come attend our meetings that we hold every Thursday.  Click on the link below for more details.
