🎉🎉HOPE HARBOR IS PROVIDING MEAL KITS FOR OUR COMMUNITY! 🎉🎉

You have all blessed HOPE Harbor beyond measure with food! We can’t thank you enough for your donations! 🙏🏼 We all know first hand what it feels like to go to bed hungry or not know where the next meal will come from. We don’t have that concern at HOPE Harbor because of your generosity! We don’t want anyone in Hillsdale to be hungry!

Now our neighbors at HOPE Harbor want to give back to our community by creating nonperishable meal kits for anyone that is experiencing food insecurity.

We will start with 4 recipes and hope to expand our menu in the future! Each meal kit will include a ziplock bag that contains all the shelf stable ingredients and a recipe to make one of the following:
1.) Pasta Primavera Soup
2.) Chicken Alfredo
3.) Tuna Casserole
4.) Shepherds Pie

Our neighbors will assemble the meal kits and deliver them to churches, blessing boxes, and we are exploring other places for a table including the public library and DHS. Let us know if you have other suggestions where we could offer free meal kits!

We have a list of ingredients that will supply everything we need to assemble the meal kits. If you would like to donate please deliver to Life Changing Church or to HOPE Harbor at 386 Carleton Road which is located in the building behind the thrift store. Please do not bring donations to the thrift store as they do not wish to be associated with this project. We will add these ingredients to our Amazon Wish List also if you prefer to have items shipped directly to us.

We are so excited for this project! Thank you for helping us be able to give back! Please share this post so we can reach as many people as possible and follow our page for updates on this project.

We want to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the incredible leadership Missy DesJardin has shown throughout her time leading our sober transitional housing mission.

Missy has gone above and beyond in preparing our team for the future, ensuring that the foundation she built will continue to support and strengthen our mission for years to come. The dedication she gave to see this through since the formation of Camp Hope in April 2023 will never be forgotten. Through her vision, compassion, and tireless work ethic, she helped create stability, growth, and hope for so many individuals in recovery and transition.

Missy has resigned as Executive Director of HOPE Harbor so she can step back full-time into her original mission at Hillsdale Community Thrift. We celebrate the impact she has made and the countless ways she has prepared us for the next chapter. Her leadership has equipped us with the tools, structure, and confidence needed to continue moving forward successfully. Our board is fully committed to the success of HOPE Harbor and every neighbor that stays with us. The board will lead us forward while we search for our next Executive Director.

We are blessed to have the continued help and support from Hillsdale Community Thrift. This transition will allow Missy to return her focus to one leading role at HCT instead of carrying the responsibility of two demanding missions at once. This will also allow Missy to spend more valuable time focusing on her family as so much time was sacrificed away from them.

We are so excited for our neighbor, Ryan! He moved into his own home today! 🏠 He has BIG plans and goals and he’s working hard towards them.

Does anyone have a queen or larger bed they would like to donate? He is almost 7 feet tall and the twin is pretty small for him.

Help us congratulate our neighbor, Liz on her new apartment! 🏠

Remember our neighbor that was found frozen to the bottom of his tent? He had pretty severe frostbite and the hospital wanted to amputate his foot. The good news is that Hillsdale Hospital wound care helped him save his foot! The bad news is they had to remove his big toe. He’s pretty bummed out about losing his toe but check out how he is decorating his boot!
If you’d like to support Jarvis he’s getting low on a few medical supplies. We have added 4x4 non stick gauze pads, Coban wrap, scissors, Tylenol and Ibuprofen to our Amazon Wish list. The link is in the comments. Or if you’d rather buy locally and drop it off that works too! Thank you!

Also, Jarvis gave me a picture of his foot. He thinks you all would want to see it. 😬
Put a 🦶🏼foot emoji in the comments if you want to see it. Put a 👎🏽 thumb down if you don’t want to see it.
