H.O.P.E.

 

HOPE stands for Helpers Overcoming Problems Effectively. HOPE is a nonprofit, incorporated organization that  coordinates requests for assistance for those in St. Mary's County who have emergency needs they are unable to meet. Church of the Ascension provides an office for H.O.P.E. for their "hot line", provides volunteers to answer the hot line, and provides assistance and advice to the H.O.P.E. Board of Directors.

 


 

H.O.P.E. is severely understaffed at this time and is in great need of volunteers, both male and female. Volunteers help to answer phones, do client intakes, and help in the food pantry.  Volunteers typically work one or two days a week (or per month, or whatever you can spare).

 

Food Pantry workers are especially needed.   Both H.O.P.E. and the food pantry are closed on Fridays due to the shortage of volunteers.  If you have some free time and would like to do something for your community, please consider working for H.O.P.E.

 

Give  Debbie  a call at 301-737-2870 between 9 AM and 12, Monday through Thursday.  Debbie will provide all training necessary for you to work in the office or the food pantry.    Thank you in advance.
