Thanks to the generosity of so many, we've reached our goal of raising $60,000, unlocking an additional $60,000 through this special matching gift campaign!
With more than a week still remaining, there's still an incredible opportunity to come alongside our immigrant and refugee neighbors through the ministries of The Hope Center and IMAGO. Because of your generosity and the momentum we've seen, we're gratefully and boldly raising our goal to $70,000.
Will you consider making a gift to help us reach this new milestone?
America's Oldest Promise Meets Its Newest Faces
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are reminded that our country has always been shaped by people who arrived here from somewhere else. We’re a nation of varied languages, traditions, and dreams, yet share a desire to build something better. Together with our immigrant neighbors, we are the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The Hope Center has had the privilege of welcoming America’s newest faces for 10+ years. Through initiatives that connect families to job training, adult education, youth enrichment, community, and citizenship, we help create pathways of stability and belonging.
We understand this call to welcome newcomers through the words of Jesus in Matthew 25, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
For 60 days this summer, we are aiming to raise $60,000 to strengthen IMAGO and The Hope Center. Thanks to two angel gifts from local families, every gift for the campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar, to raise $120,000 total! We invite you to contribute as you feel led; your support will make a wide range of meaningful work possible this year.
