As Christmas draws near, we want to pause and simply say thank you.

Because of your generosity, hope has reached thousands of children and families across Appalachian communities this season. Your giving — whether through donations, volunteering, or prayer — has helped make Christmas brighter and reminded so many that they are loved and not forgotten.

Christmas is about more than gifts under a tree. It is the celebration of God’s greatest gift to us — His Son. The birth of Jesus reminds us that love entered the world in a humble way, bringing light into darkness and hope that endures.

At Mission of Hope, your compassion and faith-filled support reflect that same love in action. Through you, families experience encouragement, children feel remembered, and communities are strengthened.

As you celebrate this season, please know how deeply grateful we are for you and for the role you play in this ministry.

From all of us at Mission of Hope, thank you for being part of this story of hope.

Merry Christmas.
