Hope Chapel collecting food for the Salvation Army

 

[October 13, 2023] 

Hope Chapel is once again engaged in its annual effort to stock the food pantry of the Salvation Army 360 Life Center in Lincoln. “Season of HOPE” began in 2020 with a challenge to the congregation of Hope Chapel to collect 500 pounds of durable food items in the weeks prior to Thanksgiving. When the final tally was made, over 1,500 pounds had been given and distributed to local pantries. Last year we narrowed our focus to just one pantry and expanded the drive to invite our Westville neighborhood to join in and together we smashed a 2,000-pound goal with over 2,200 pounds of goods.

With the soaring inflation we have all experienced in recent days, the need for food donations is more critical than ever, so the leadership of Hope Chapel has committed to a daunting goal of collecting 2,500 pounds of food, cleaning products, and personal care items by November 12th. We would love to share this great opportunity to serve our community by inviting everyone to click on the “Season of Hope” tab our website (hopechapelnaz.org).

2023 collection to date

There, you will find a list of suggested donations for each week of the drive. Any donated items can be dropped off at the main doors of Hope Chapel each Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The staff of The Salvation Army will pick up all the donations prior to the holiday season.

Will you join us in this good effort? Whether you give once or give weekly, every gift will make a difference! We’re confident that, together, we can turn this challenging time of the year into a real season of hope for so many households in our community!
