By the grace of our Lord and through your faithful love, prayers, and generous hands, we are blessed to share the journey and fruits of our labor together during the first half of this year.
Looking back at 2025, our weekly family of guests averaged 108 precious souls. This year, that number has grown, with weekly check-ins averaging 119 guests. In keeping with this growth, our service at the table has expanded to an average of 192 warm meals and 146 sandwiches each week. While the rising cost of living has required us to increase our budget from last year, we continue to walk in faith, trusting the Lord’s provision amidst weekly financial needs.
To ensure a safe and welcoming sanctuary of peace for both our guests and our dedicated volunteers, we partner weekly with Butler Investigation. As we look ahead, the cost for this essential safety service is scheduled to increase starting in September, bringing an additional financial responsibility that we lift up in prayer.
Even through the demanding summer season, a time when needs often rise while volunteer hands grow fewer, the Lord has sustained us abundantly. Thanks to your unwavering dedication and our ongoing partnership with Serve Boldly, we have been blessed with a steady stream of love in action, maintaining a weekly average of 26 volunteers and 8 community partners.
Truly, every single moment of this ministry is a testament to God’s grace. Your continuous care and compassionate hearts make it possible to fulfill Jesus’ profound calling to love our neighbors as ourselves through Hope’s Home. Thank you so much for walking this path with us.
Blessings,
Rev. Ran Yoo
