NEW HOPE MINISTRIES RECEIVES $1 MILLION GRANT

After raising more than $630,000 in financial and in-kind gifts from the community, New Hope Ministries received the $1 million matching grant from the Donald B. and Dorothy L. Stabler Foundation last week. The new Mechanicsburg West Shore Center, located at 5228 E. Trindle Road in Mechanicsburg, was officially purchased on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, and renovations are currently underway.

“Despite the huge needs faced by people in our community dealing with unemployment and financial struggles, New Hope has much to be thankful for this season,” said Eric Saunders, Executive Director of New Hope Ministries. “We are so grateful that our community has come through with their gifts and help to make New Hope’s new food pantry a reality.”

The new center is scheduled to open in March 2010, and will replace New Hope’s current Mechanicsburg West Shore Center located on State Road in Mechanicsburg. The centers located in Dillsburg and Dover will continue to operate in their current locations.

Thank you to everyone who supports New Hope through extraordinary projects such as this, and throughout the year. Every donation and every prayer makes a difference, and impacts the lives of those we serve.
