The Hope for New York affiliate network is growing every year—and this year, we've partnered with three new affiliates: Beacon Christian Community Health Center, New Beginnings Center of Hope, and Park Slope Christian Tabernacle Education Outreach Ministries.
Distributing Our Second Round of Relief Fund Grants
Two weeks ago, we distributed our first round of Relief Fund grants. This week, because of the ongoing generosity of our donors and church partners, we distributed a second round of critical relief grants—$133,000—to 11 more affiliates.
The Power of Hope for New York's Network
As the COVID-19 situation became more and more “real,” Hope for New York continued to refer to our core mission and ask the hard question, “How is God calling us to respond?” For HFNY and our affiliates, the collective response is that we must continually innovate our strategies in order to meet those who are most vulnerable in our City. Across the HFNY affiliate network, organizations are re-imagining how we can most effectively meet the growing need for physical, emotional and spiritual care during this season.
Celebrating Our First Round of Relief Fund Grants
Two weeks ago, in order to mobilize resources for the financial needs of our affiliates, we opened up the Hope for New York Relief Fund. With the incredible generosity of the HFNY community (thank you!), we provided $375,000 in the first round of grant funding to 27 affiliates, and this will support the relief efforts of their network.
