Good Hope collects donations of non-perishable food items for the Howard County Food Bank. Each month will have a theme of suggested donations provided by the Food Bank. However, non- perishable items of any kind are always welcome. Please place items in the box in the foyer. 

Angel Tree is a nationwide ministry to children of incarcerated parents. Participants are given the name and age of a child and asked to purchase 1-2 Christmas gifts for them. Gifts are collected in the fellowship hall and then distributed at a pre-determined date. 

Similar to the Howard County food bank, Good Hope collects non-perishable food items necessary for a traditional Thanksgiving meal.  These items are assembled in a basket and given to a home in need. Monetary donations are welcome and are used to purchase a turkey for each basket. 

Despite living in an affluent area, Good Hope realizes that many individuals in our area are  in need. To better serve, a Deacon’s Fund has been established which allocates financial assistance to deserving causes. Requests for assistance are reviewed by the deacons according to pre-determined guidelines.  Donations may be earmarked for the Deacon fund either by using the designed envelope found in the Narthex or by marking “Deacons Fund” on the memo line of a check.  The totality of these gifts go to these designated causes.
