Greetings Sheila,
Thank you so much for helping New Hope Clinic be our local community's answer to give the low income, uninsured residents access to healthcare in a patient-centered setting. We have helped 463 individuals so far this year, but there are many more in need. We can't do it without you! Whether you came early for your volunteer shift to help prepare the Clinic for a storm, played in a charity benefit golf tournament, or even just said a kind word to someone at the Clinic, you are making a difference.
In addition to counting the number of people who receive healthcare services at the Clinic, we also track if we're having a positive impact on health. The past couple of years have been challenging for the Clinic and our patients, and we changed some of the ways we deliver our care, but we're happy to share the results of our work below. You'll also find info on some upcoming events and programs.
Volunteers - be sure to check out the special section with updates for you.
New Hope Clinic’s major fundraiser, Art with Heart, usually held every other year is returning after three years off for Covid-19, and will be on Sunday, October 23, 2022, from 3-6pm, at the Southport Community Building. We've updated this fun event to be more of a party with music and activities spread out across the inside and outside of the community center, as well as adding the ability to participate in the auction without attending the main event. There is less than one week left to sign up to show your support for Art with Heart as a sponsor or advertiser (both businesses and individuals), or by donating original artwork and silent auction items. Click here or see details about the event and tickets below.
Stay safe & thank you for all your support!
Sincerely,
Sheila Roberts
Executive Director

Volunteer hours reporting update:
- If you volunteer at the Clinic and use a computer, please start using the computer to enter your volunteer hours instead of the paper sign up sheet. There is a link on the NHC Intranet landing page.
- If you volunteer off-site, please remember to email your hours at least once per quarter to info@newhopeclinicfree.org
- These two actions will improve the accuracy of our reporting to capture how much our community truly supports us! This isn't a time to be modest; reporting hours accurately helps the organization evaluate the effectiveness of our programs & the cost of doing our work, and strengthens our grant applications.
Thank you for all you do!
