Hope Freedman        January 13


Please donate new or gently used hats, coats, or blankets to Mission House.  Your donation will help homeless people in our area.  In the U.S., over half a million people are dealing with homelessness.  You are needed to help these people live better lives, and your donation counts.  Mission House is helping many people reach towards new and better lives.  Your donation will help them reach this goal. 

PLEASE DONATE TODAY!

Since I was very young, I have had a passion for helping the homeless, as I feel it is a cause that more people need to be made aware of.  When I was in 2nd grade, we learned about different social action issues.  For a project, I wrote a speech and was videotaped saying how we can take initiative in helping the homeless by donating hats, coats, blankets, etc.

Please watch my speech at:

 Thank you, 
Joe Sinder
