It’s almost that time of year again—time for gathering families, sharing meals, and giving gifts. We at Hope for New York want to see families across our city experience joy this Christmas. Join us by giving to provide toys for families with limited financial resources.
We believe we serve our neighbors best when we’re informed about the needs in our city and encouraged in our call to pursue justice. So, we read articles, listen to podcasts, watch videos—and we want to share that with you in our Mercy & Justice Round-Up. We hope you'll read, learn and grow with us.
Staten Island, known as the “forgotten borough,” is actually the wealthiest of the five boroughs, boasting the highest median household income. Last year, it also had the highest rate of overdose deaths in the city, at 31.8 per 100,000 adults. Learn more about the community and how you can pray.
In the next 10 years, we plan to incubate new non-profits to holistically serve our city, activate New York churches to love their neighbors in need, and unite New Yorkers to provide solutions to poverty.
It has been breathtaking to experience Jesus’ heart for West Brighton, a broken and forgotten corner of the “forgotten borough,” and the strength and beauty of our neighbors who loved and served this community long before we arrived.
