Humbled and Excited

Just like that, another month has passed in our Non Profit Journey! It’s been another wonderful, surprising and humbling month for us.

Your support never ceases to amaze us. We have received more clothes, furniture, baby items and household goods for Anchor Hope! The kindness and giving spirit that you have shown to us as well as the foster kids and foster families that we will be helping is so up lifting. We can’t say thank you to each and everyone of you enough.

We are still working on the patience thing, our 501c3 has not arrived yet but we are hopeful!! Fingers crossed we will have it by the end of this month. Keep lifting it up in prayers please!

Anchor Hope has also been lucky enough to have a wonderful young man, Bryson to help us organize, sort and label the items that are coming in. He is such a huge help! If you know anyone who needs service hours for school, a club or organization they are part of, please let us know!

In case you missed it!! We have a very exciting event coming up on Friday, November 30th at 6:30pm! Anchor Hope will be hosting it’s first annual Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction!!

Live Music will be provided by the one and only Greg Brown! We will also have representatives from DSS, Children’s Home Society and 7 Homes for Children there. They will share a little bit about what is going on and happening with the foster care system today.

Make sure to RSVP to anchorhopehome@gmail.com or text your RSVP to 336-549-5593. Let us know if you are bringing children and if they are going to need childcare.

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE!

The Whirlwind

Hi Friends! It has been a month since our last post and what a whirlwind of a month it has been . There is so much we need to update you all on! For the time being though, the blog is going to be monthly, so they will probably stay pretty packed!

So from July 25th- August 24th, it feels like a year has passed. We had our big tv online raffle which was quite a success. We didn't earn as much as we had wanted to but we DID learn a lot and that's important. We learned we need to reach more people and more people need to know about us and what we are doing for foster kids. That being said a HUGE congratulations to Lynn Long who won the TV. Thank you so much for participating and all of your support! Also THANK YOU to EVERYONE who participated, who is spreading the word about Anchor Hope, who is praying and for loving us and what we are doing. Your support really means the world to us.

We have also had some amazing and impactful meetings with DSS, the Children's Home Society, Crossnore and 7 Homes. The good news?!?!? Are you ready for it? They are bought in. We have their 100% support for Anchor Hope and how this special Community Resource Center will be used. 

We were also lucky enough to be able to donate two full bags of baby clothes to In All Things Love, a wonderful non-profit run by Shanda Trogdon. If you are a foster parent and are in need of anything baby or kid related please contact In All Things Love, Family Room and One Child's Voice. They will get you everything you need and more.

Two other pretty amazing things have happened too! We have received two separate gifts from two amazing people of twin beds! One room outfitted in the CRC. Thank you Lynn and Shanda! 

We are still waiting on our 501c3. We should receive our temporary one before our next blog post. Fingers crossed. 

In the mean time while we are waiting for it so that we can do the big fundraising we have been selling furniture and crochet items to cover our current monthly expenses. Here are a few of the Crochet Items and Anchor Bracelets that we currently have for sale if you or anyone you know would be interested. If you see one you like, let us know, make a donation on the website and it's all yours!

 

How can you help? I know you must be asking yourself this all the time.

PRAY!!
       Specifically for:

  • The children, families and social workers who will be using this space
  • A house to be donated
  • Furniture and a playground set

Donate

  • Used or new children's items(furniture, clothing, bottles, diapers, formula, toys, etc)
