CHRISTMAS Campaign 2023
Our #MoreThanFood Campaign aims to meet some of the biggest needs in not just one, but ALL our current operations! These needs range from local needs in Cherokee County, to a van for our Middle East program—and of course, blessing our House of Hope Children with gifts for Christmas.
Now, we’re going to have a little fun along the way. To track our progress, we need you to help us fill our Christmas Tree!
Our greatest needs are listed under each Operation. We are grateful for any amount that you wish to donate towards a specific need. Now here’s the really fun part—any time a need is fulfilled, we get to celebrate by placing an ornament on our tree! And of course, no tree would be complete without lights or the Christmas Star.
If you or your team wishes to fulfill a need entirely, we’re giving you a “Shout Out!” on our social media just to thank you for being so generous.
We have until December 31st to fill the tree. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and for partnering with us in sharing the love of Jesus across the world.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND
This year we were blessed to be in a position to respond to the damage caused by Hurricane Idalia in Valdosta, the Earthquake in Morocco, and the Earthquake on the Turkey/Syria border. This was only possible due to the timely gifts of givers just like you. In 2024, we want to get out in front of any disasters and create an Emergency Response Fund that will enable us to respond immediately without the need to wait for specific response funding.
