An Opportunity to Help Families in Need in Laconia Community


Sometimes people need a little help, and Hope Ministries would like to donate personal-sized toiletries, drinks, food, first aid, and gift cards to provide a hand up for those struggling.  “People Helping People” will manage the donations by sorting what is received then filling the backpacks. 

The “Survival” Backpacks will help those with financial problems who need gas money to get children to school, or doctors or mental health offices aiding struggling clients, or those released from the county jail, or those on the verge of becoming homeless or losing their job.  Referrals can come from doctors, mental health professionals, social workers and hospitals.   The network is very large and very confidential. 

HOPE Ministries will Donate to a Local Drive for “Survival” Backpacks. Please HELP with any of the Items below, in August, to Donation Bin in the front of our church.  Cards will be collected from bin after every worship service
