Mission of Hope

Back to School Program

Do you remember how much fun it was to get new school supplies when you were a child? Parents want their children to have everything they need for a good education, but in Appalachia, this privilege is sometimes an impossibility. The Mission of Hope needs your help with its Back to School program. The 2013 campaign will be our 16th annual event and we plan to assist over 10,000 Appalachian children with the school supplies they will need to get a good start to their school year. A donation of $10 will provide a new backpack and supplies to a very deserving student. If you would like to sponsor one or more children, make your tax-deductible check to Mission of Hope and mail it to the address below. We are a fully licensed 501c3 non-profit charity.

The school principals and teachers tell us that this program helps all their kids start the new school year on an equal plain and they are so excited when they get these NEW supplies. Thanks for your support and for helping to extend the Hope!
