Dear Mission of Hope Friends,  It’s time for Pack The Bus to help our Students in Rural Appalachia have the School Supplies they need for a successful School Year!    We know Back To School looks different for everyone this year, and the health and safety of our Donors and Volunteers is first and foremost in our Prayers.  Due to the Coronavirus Health Crisis, we have decided to scale back to a Blue Barrel collection this year.  We will miss seeing the smiling faces of everyone who comes out to donate each year, but we know this is the right thing to do.   While you’re out shopping for the Students in your life, we would be so grateful if you’d drop a few School Supplies in the MOH Blue Barrels at OfficeMax in Turkey Creek this Thursday through Sunday (July 30th – Aug 2nd). The Barrels will be placed at the front of the store and you can drop off your donation on your way out.  We are hoping to Pack The (Virtual) Bus with plenty of School Supplies to send to our 30 Elementary Schools in Rural Appalachia. Thanks For All You Do To Help Extend True HOPE. Sincerest Regards, Emmette Thompson Executive Director Mission of Hope
