Yesterday reminded us that community always shows up.

We are especially grateful to the Alpha Iota Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., the Denton-Lewisville Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Kimberly Dabney, Store Manager of the Lancaster AutoZone Store 1549, The Coventry Reserve for the beautiful flowers created, and the McGee family for passing out popsicles and bringing extra joy to the day.
We also want to recognize Carter Heckman’s Media Rally of exotic cars for collecting donations in support of HRM. The rally ended in the parking lot of Gateway Church Plano near George Bush Freeway, where one of the pastors came out to learn more about Hope Restored Missions. Thanks to this effort, HRM received 51 backpacks, 350 cans of pop-top food, 4 pairs of shoes, 1 toddler toy, and a $20 cash donation.
May is National Volunteer Month, and we are grateful that more than 200 volunteers served throughout this outreach effort. Every volunteer, donor, partner, and supporter helped make this day possible.
Because of you, our neighbors were met with dignity, care, resources, and hope.
Restoring hope is our only mission.
