We would sincerely like to thank Debra Messick Rossi and Meagan Donophan for allowing us to be a part of her wonderful resource fair today!

The weather was beautiful, the resources were incredible, and the turnout was amazing. What a wonderful event to be a part of!

Today, our Rapid Response Team / Diakonia INC. was proud to provide Narcan distribution and training, shelter resources, and many additional supportive resources for those in need. We were also excited to hand out lots of free goodies from a previous donation.

Thank you again to Deb, the staff, and all the volunteers of HOPE Help and Outreach Point of Entry for welcoming us and allowing us to be part of such a special day. We truly appreciate all that you do for the community and cannot wait to do this all again soon!

“Outreach looks a little brighter with friends like Max 🐾💛

Today our Rapid Response Team / Diakonia INC. had the pleasure of meeting Max on the Ocean City Boardwalk — a firefighter support dog who brings comfort, support, and smiles to victims, survivors, and first responders every day.

Certified professional good boy? Absolutely. 😁🐶
Thank you, Max, for the love and healing you bring wherever you go.”

Dear friends 💛

As we approach the warmer weather, it’s time to shift our donations from winter items to spring essentials! 🌸

Right now, we are running low on supplies and could truly benefit from your support. Every donation helps us continue serving those in need through our outreach efforts.

Please drop off all donations at our main office on 611.

Thank you for your continued dedication, compassion, and support — we couldn’t do this without you!
