We got the bathrooms completed and the City came in and gave us an occupancy certificate for up to 70 women!  Now, on to the next projects the city is requiring.  If you would like to donate to a great cause, we would really appreciate it!  God Bless

The Annual Donation day/5 year Anniversary/Grand opening of the Top Drawer Thrift store was a huge success.  We had donations of food/drink/cookies and chips and we treated all donors with free hot dogs.  We raised over $20,000 to go towards the building fund!   Thank you to all volunteers who helped pull this off:  Angels of Grace Creek (helped in Thrift store and at Donation tables and flagged down donors on Hwy 80), Mickey Couture and Lee Lester (grill masters), Katie Chute, Jean Hindman and Shay Caffey (organizers, painters, donation tables), Best Buy's Robert Ayler and his Tag team (painted new building), Patrick Hindman (loaded donations into trucks) Margie Welty (stood on Hwy 80  with donation buckets) Amador Gonzalas and his daughter Star (helped paint new building)  Woodie Terrell (helped in the Thrift store) and the Breeze radio station's Jammin' Jimmy Olson (free live remote for 2 hours to show support).  God has a great plan for 2011 at the House of Hope.  Don't miss out, come get a volunteer application today and be a part of something amazing.
