The Little Things

Can you believe it? A whole nother month has passed! It’s been a quieter month this time around. Not a bad thing but a bit different compared to the whirlwind that has been surrounding us during this process.

We are learning so much that I keep waiting for brain matter to start leaking out of our ears at this point. The newest item we are learning about at the present moment is zoning requirements for our Community Resource Center. AND that it’s not straight forward. It depends on the neighborhood, the town, part of town and what we are doing. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised though, we haven’t encountered anything straight forward at this point. Go figure.

We are being gifted an awesome high school student that is going to be volunteering with us starting next month for his volunteer hours. He will be able to help organize donations, help with social media and research among a lot of other tasks that will help move us forward in the right direction! Hey, if you know any other students who need service hours let us know!

We are receiving so many gracious donations, from friends, family and many people we don’t even know! This has been the biggest blessing. We wouldn’t be where we are without all of you!

Another wonderful thing that happened this month is that we sold 3 crochet blankets! 2 afghans and a baby blanket. This will cover our address and a few other expenses for 2 months! PROGRESS. Every little thing counts and adds up.

Also guys, there is a new movie coming out that is about a foster family! This is a rarity and not a lot of focus has been put on foster families in recent years. It’s called Instant Family. Check it out!

Still waiting on the 501c3. We are working on this whole patience thing….. There is a good possibility it’s teaching us some good life skills there. Hopefully we will have an update soon!

Mark your calendars, we are planning on having a dinner to share about what Anchor Hope is doing on November 30th. More information to come on that in the following months.

We would love to come talk to your organization, rotary, circle, or any club that you are a part of to share what we are doing. This is a big need in our community and we can’t wait till it’s fully operational and running!
