September Updates! Happy September to you all! If you are like us, you are looking
forward to the cooler temps and fall weather! We hope everyone is getting into a good groove with fall and school routines. Our board of directors was able to meet at the building this past week for the first time ever. It was so great to meet in person as a team, in our very own space! We are working on getting business cards printed, insurance solidified for the center, landscaping
completed, among many other tasks. We also had the honor of voting in our newest board member, Randy Hunter. Welcome Randy! We are excited to have him on board as he helps us with security and building maintenance as his main focus. One of the most exciting things we were able to do at our meeting was walk the property and discuss each and every room and how we envision using the space.
We are working on the most logistical and resourceful way to incorporate all the different areas we need. This includes our offices for a director and admin, counseling rooms, medical area, material goods store, fatherhood program, volunteer room, and a welcoming lobby. With the blessing of this building, and all of you supporting us, we do not take these decisions lightly. We are weighing all of our options and committing our decisions to prayer as we figure out how to make the building flow in
the best way. We will share updates and photos as we move along! Thank you for joining us in this journey! |

We have had many people reach out and let us know that they are interested in volunteering once the center opens. We would like to start compiling a list now, in order to start the planning process and communicate any needs as they arise. Please email info@hopefirstfrc.com if you are interested in volunteering! Thank you for your consideration. |
Donation/Fundraising Information Right now, one of the biggest focuses we have is preparing the building for clients. In the near
future, we will need to work on the inside with some remodeling, painting, purchasing furniture, etc. We will be creating a list of specific needs and items/rooms that people can "sponsor". We are working on determining what the most urgent needs are. Keep an eye out for a newsletter regarding that in the coming months! Another critical need we have is
building up our monthly donor list. Reoccurring donations are what will help us take the steps to fully open the center. They will enable us to hire a director, an admin, pay monthly bills, and more, in able to keep the center running. If you feel led to be a part of that team and commit to a specific amount each month, we humbly thank you and invite you to follow the links at the bottom of this newsletter. Through our generous donors, and all of your prayers, we will continue to work toward having Hope First open and able to welcome clients and families who are in need of support and help in difficult times. |
