A big THANKS to our teammate, Marth Sholtz from HRC (Handy Women Repair with Care)! She contacted Mike Renfro, owner of the CubeSmart Self Storage on Viera Blvd and explained Community of Hope’s need for additional space to store furnishing for our units. Mike made a very generous ($5,580) in-kind donation to cover a 10’X15’X8’ climate-controlled unit for one year. This will officially start Phase II of HRC. Lisa, working with Stephanie, has begun looking for furniture donations, HRC (under Lisa’s guidance) will make minor repairs and we will store the items in CubeSmart until a new family arrives and needs the furniture to get started. Our current goal is to find donated slightly used furniture. If you hear of someone who has items we may be able to use, please contact Lisa. T will be seeking a grant in the near future to give us money to buy needed items when we find good bargains.

Located at 1935 Viera Blvd, Rockledge, FL 32955
Thanks again to Mike Renfro and his team at CubeSmart for helping us, help those seeking a fresh start in affordable housing. Be sure to tell your friends to support this company!

Christmas with Santa
Community of Hope Christmas party
This year’s event was wonderful. There were games for the kids. The Hulu hoop contest was fun to participate in and watch as the kids and parents joined in.
The kids were excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Thanks to the Seaside Stitchers and Faith in Action everyone got a stocking.
The Community of Hope case manager, Nicole started handing out donated gifts to the children that were at the party. She will be Santa’s helper and deliver the rest of the gifts before Christmas.
Kids made Christmas tree ornaments and hair decorations. Thanks to our volunteers, everyone had a good time.

Help Us House Families with Children Today
Community of Hope has a goal to help 70 families gain access to a home. We want to expand our Hope Housing Services Program. This program allows us to fund families moving into rental housing and provide the support they need to stay housed. Last year we helped 52 families.
In Brevard County, a family needs about $3000 to move into a rental. They can't do it alone. We can't do it alone. We need your help. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to provide housing access to families with children by lessening the barrier of $$ to get housing. Please give today. Please note Hope Housing on your gift.
Give HERE now.
Every child should have a home.

Cape Canaveral volunteers help at Hope Village
A group for Cape Canaveral Air Station volunteered to do painting at Hope Village, a permanent supportive housing site in Melbourne. They were able to spruce up a residence that has special needs kids. It was great to have so many hands to be able to get the painting done while the kids were in the day programs. It is less disruptive for them.
The home looks so brighter and fresh.
They also water sealed the picnic tables and swing set. We are so glad they came to help out.
Thanks for volunteering!
