Thank you so very much for your continued support to House of Hope. You are appreciated! Your gift donations allows us to continue to serve and meet some of the many needs of the homeless in our community. Shelter, meals, transportation to medical appointments and prescription assistance is a portion of how we are able to assist.

Hello, Longview EPC Family! We are so excited to send you this End of the Year Report. It may seem strange to be excited about a report, but this particular one is a glimpse into all that God has accomplished through the Overland team in the past year and we're so incredibly proud to be part of this team. We hope that as you read through the testimonies, see photos of people whose lives have been touched by God, and dream with us about what God is calling our team to next, that you realize you're a huge, important part of of it all...
With Love, The Benders
(Branden & Lauren)
