Who we are and what we believe
Additional Information
We BELIEVE in partnership
Box of Hope is a partnership between schools, local churches, civic organizations and businesses.
We BELIEVE in organizing efforts
There are many great people in our city doing many great things. We simply try to unite some of this energy so we can make maximum impact in our community
We BELIEVE we can make our city great for the next generation
We believe that the future of our city can be brighter as we model for our children effective ways to serve our neighbors and provide for needs through solid, authentic friendships that continue far beyond our outreaches.
How do we know who to help?
Local churches provide invitations to the school social workers, psychologists and counselors who identify the families that have the highest levels of need through their day to day experiences and relationships to these families. The schools send those registrations to those families and help them to register.
Where do the resources come from?
Our resources come from the generosity of the people of our city. A collaboration between the schools and churches aligns those that want to sponsor with the families in need. Sponsors provide groceries, paper and hygiene products and gifts, school supplies or other items based on the outreach we are doing and the need.
How do the resources get to the families?
Box of Hope wants to be able to build friendships right at the doorstep of the families we serve. Sponsors are urged to not just purchase the things these families need, but deliver them too. THIS IS WHERE WE BELIEVE FRIENDSHIPS BEGIN! Our HOPE is that those friendships can grow beyond the outreach.
