Stocking the Shelves for Neighbors
Christmas at New Hope – Stocking the Shelves for Hope for Her and ECHO
For the last fifteen years, New Hope has been involved in the Gift of Hope, a partnership between ECHO and area churches to provide food, gifts, and spiritual support to needy families during the Christmas season. Over the years, fewer churches have participated and the bulk of the work has fallen on a smaller group of churches while need in our community has increased.
This year, our Gift of Hope team, which consists of representatives from ECHO and several North Brandon churches, decided to make a shift. With less participation and feeling the strain from the two recent hurricanes, the team decided to take a hiatus from Gift of Hope in 2024. Each participating church will now lean into whatever they feel God calling them to do for this season. Next year, we hope to come back together with a renewed sense of energy and passion to empower local families during the holiday season.
At New Hope, we feel like the greatest need right now is food. We have families in our community that are feeling the crunch after the storms and the increased cost of food is not helping. Thus, during November and December, we are stocking the shelves at ECHO and Hope for Her. Instead of gifts, we will be collecting peanut butter, jelly, pasta, spaghetti sauce, ramen noodles, cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, basic toiletries, and $10 gift cards to help families purchase meat. Our goal is to literally restock the shelves for our local mission partners who have been feeling to pinch of increased grocery prices and increased need.

Backpack Hero Day - Donations Needed
Backpack Hero Day
New Hope has pledged 100 backpacks for the event. Donations can be dropped at the church office Monday through Thursday from 9am to 4pm or in the lobby of the main sanctuary on Sunday mornings.
The purpose of Backpack Heroes is to create a much larger positive impact on families in our community by consolidating numerous smaller back-to-school events in the East Hillsborough area. This event is geared to provide school-age children with backpacks in time for school and educate parents on the resources available to them in the East Hillsborough community.
Through Backpack Heroes families learn about tools and resources available to them in the community to assist them in their mission to provide and succeed.
