Year End Appeal - Hope Rescue Mission

Christmas Hope!
On behalf of all of the men seeking to have their lives restored at Hope,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank
you for supporting the Lord’s work among those suffering right here in
Berks County.
We hope you had a wonderful time exchanging gifts with friends and
family, as you celebrated the gift of Christ’s birth! We celebrated Hope’s
120th year of ministry in 2014 and enjoyed many wonderful events. We
are so thankful for your partnership in providing relief for men’s
immediate physical needs, as well as hope for their eternal spiritual
needs.
I’m sure many non-profits are encouraging you to give a tax-deductible, year-end charitable contribution.
There are so many worthy causes to support, so I want to highlight what your investment into Hope
provides for men in need right here in your local community:
Safe, warm bed overnight
Free clothing and toiletries
Daily Gospel message
Individual spiritual mentoring
Private rooms for those who find
jobs and are paying off debts
l Fellowship with men who
understand their struggles

Hope is not a national organization, so your donations support those in need right here in Berks
County. For the past 120 years, Hope’s privately-run, non-denominational ministry has been funded
by the generosity of local residents who care about their lost brothers, sons, and fathers.
With new men coming to Hope on a daily basis, your prayers and financial support give each man
help now and hope for eternity. We would love to have you come in and serve with us in 2015!
Please call me to make arrangements.
For His Kingdom,
Robert Turchi, Executive Director
