Last month, our 29th Annual Spring Banquet was truly one for the books.
It was such a sweet and special evening of celebrating 40 years of ministry together where we gathered, celebrated, honored, remembered, and most of all thanked the Lord for His faithfulness.
We would like to report that in total, once all pledges are fulfilled, we raised $80,922, slightly surpassing our goal of $80,000. We are grateful for the provision and for each person who so selflessly gave to support Life in our community. π
We are blown away year after year with how our community comes together to make this event possible. So, we have some additional gratitude to share:
Thank you for First Baptist Cleveland, TN for being our gracious host once again!
Thank you to our surprise guest, Jackie Stanley, and our special guest speaker, Captain Evie West -- your stories are woven into New Hope's Legacy of Hope, and we are grateful for your boldness in sharing during our Banquet!
A special thank you also goes to our sponsors and partners who made the evening possible:

Thank you to all of our volunteers! We truly could not have done any of this without the help of the many volunteers who greeted, served food and drinks, and cleaned up when the evening ended.
We are so blessed!
