We appreciate you!!

The I Feel the Love Project just can't thank you enough for all your continued love and support.  As the cards for the August project were boxed up to be sent off to all the SAFEHOME, it was once again a humbling experience to see all the beautiful gifts laid out before us.  We just wish you could share in the experience of seeing how much love goes in these boxes.  The recipients can feel it and are so appreciative.  They tell us in letters that we receive from them.

It is always special to receive cards from new crafters.  A special thank you to those of you who have sent in cards last month for the first time.  I believe that Ms. Angelique is one of those crafters.  Here are the cards we recieved from Ms. Angelique.

Simply beautiful and truly a blessing 

for the people of SAFEHOME.

If you would like to join us this month by creating a handcrafted card for the I Feel the Love Project, we would love to have you.

I Feel the Love Project- September 2013

Lending a hand to the homeless by creating and sending handcrafted, unsigned birthday, encouragement, friendship, and blank cards to lift their spirits!

Hope Ministries has been serving those who are homeless in Des Moines and central Iowa since 1915. We are a Christ-centered, faith-based ministry that provides programs and services for homeless and hungry men, women and children. We are one of the largest non-denominational collaborative efforts in Iowa focused on homelessness and hunger issues. We reach out to the unsheltered and displaced by offering food, clothing, shelter and support through emergency and long-term recovery services.

I Feel the Love Project September 2013

• Hope Ministries provides a long-term comprehensive continuum of care program for homeless and displaced men, women and children.
• Hope Ministries provides the largest number of emergency and recovery beds for the homeless in Central Iowa.
• Our Bethel Mission facility is the largest emergency shelter for homeless men in Iowa, providing 108 beds.
• Our Door of Faith facility provides 102 beds for long-term residential and life recovery for homeless and displaced men.

 

• Our Hope Family Center is a 48-bed facility providing long-term residential and life recovery for homeless and displaced mothers and their children.
• Hope Ministries' Hope Café provides three free meals a day year round to homeless and impoverished men, women and children from the community.
• Our King's Closet program provides voucher privileges to 14 area social service agencies to refer clients, and to churches to refer members, for free clothing at our Hope Bargain Center.
• Our Hope on the Streets outreach program involves staff and volunteers (mobile outreach teams) seeking to identify and help the homeless on the streets of downtown Des Moines and in the skywalks. Our Service and Mission (SAM) Teams involved more than 120 churches and business volunteer groups in 2008 reaching out to the homeless living in remote wooded tent camp sites throughout the metropolitan area. 

We will be sending these unsigned birthday, encouragement, friendship, and blank cards to Hope Ministries so that they can keep them on hand for their residents.  If you would like to be a part of this month's project:
