Volunteers Put Faith In Action

Chapters Mobilized To Serve Their Communities
HOPE worldwide Chapters participated in a total of 93 different volunteer events, accumulating over 36,500 hours of service in 29 states. Thirty-three Chapters of HOPE worldwide collaborated with the American Red Cross to participate for the fourth consecutive year in the Fire Preparedness Reach Out program. Chapters involved with the Red Cross-sponsored program used data from local fire departments to identify neighborhoods with high rates of home fires. Once areas were targeted, Chapters mobilized their volunteers to distribute home fire prevention information and engage in conversations about home fire safety with interested residents. Other service projects ranged from feeding the homeless to winterizing homes in lower income neighborhoods.
