Your Donation Makes a Difference #UnSelfie #ROHMGivingTuesdayAt Rivers of Hope Ministries, we believe in the power of community support to transform lives. Your donation directly impacts the lives of the individuals and families we serve. Here are just a few examples of the difference your generosity makes:Personal Stories of ImpactMichelle's ExperienceMichelle, a grateful recipient, shares:"The food pantry helps myself and my family of five through our financial struggles. The staff is kind, warm-hearted, and treats us like family. Although there is assistance available once a month, they make a positive impact on our lives by providing assistance with food, drinks, hygiene products, and prayer/blessings. I commend them for their kindness, support and recommend them to anyone in need."Rebecca's GratitudeRebecca expresses her appreciation:"I appreciate that there are appointment times. There is no wait. And the love that Terry and Stacie show is so refreshing. They imitate Jesus Christ in showing compassion and reflect the fruitage of God’s Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23) in their kindness and goodness. We are so very blessed to have found them."Expanding Our ReachYour donation not only supports families in San Antonio, Texas, like those of Michelle and Rebecca, but also aids countless others. With your help, we provide not only food but also hygiene products, diapers, school supplies, blankets for the houseless, clothes, and much more.In 2024 alone, we've distributed an estimated 5,300 lbs of food and 780 lbs of hygiene products to 200 families, along with backpacks filled with school supplies to 60 children and approximately 150 children's books. This incredible impact is only possible with your support.A Vision for the FutureNew Food Pantry in Denison, TexasWe are excited to announce our plan to open a second food pantry in Denison, Texas, to serve those in need in Grayson County and North Texas. While we have secured a location, we urgently need funds to bring this vision to life. Our needs include:ShelvesRefrigerator and deep freezeScaleReusable shopping bagsFoodOffice suppliesFunds to employ an executive directorVehicleThis is a God-sized goal that absolutely cannot happen without your support.Assistance Fund InitiativeWe are also in the process of establishing an Assistance Fund to help individuals with any financial need they may face. Many people today need just $20-$50 to make it through until payday, while others have more significant needs. Our goal is to assist anyone in need. Before we can start accepting applications, we aim to raise $10,000. As of now, we have only raised $100 toward this initiative. This is another God-sized goal that requires your support to become a reality.Join Our MissionAt Rivers of Hope Ministries, our mission is to share the love of Christ and spread hope by providing material support to people in need around the world.
