 “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).

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!
