 2004 Mission of Hope Campaign
In September 2004, Hope Ministries announced Mission of Hope, our first-ever holiday campaign to raise $671,000 – the amount needed to meet half of our annual funding requirements for our daily operating expenses. Our faithful donors heard the call and responded generously to meet and exceed the goal!
By campaign's end January 31st, the four-month Mission of Hope campaign raised a total of $796,198. These funds have and will continue to enable us to shelter, feed, and provide healing and recovery services for hundreds of homeless men, women and their children through the winter months. With your faithful support, in the past two years alone we have provided over 280,000 meals and over 80,000 nights of shelter - all of this through private support and with no government funding.
We sincerely thank our donors for being partners in this very important mission field right here in our back yard. We have faith that we can continue to count on you to partner with us in the coming months and throughout 2005 as we bring relief, recovery and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost of central Iowa. Thank you so very much!
