Mission El Dorado

"Flooding and tornado damage to the El Dorado, Kansas area has been significant in the past few years. While a great deal of assistance has been given to those suffering overwhelming losses, the lingering impacts on homes that were only slightly damaged or in need of minor repairs have not been addressed. Many low-income families, who were already struggling, have had to put off minor but necessary home repairs. Without care, these minor problems could deteriorate into much more costly repairs and could even become dangerous."

Operation Christmas Child 2009

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, was once again a success for Hope Covenant! This being our 5th year, we made a record number of boxes! Thanks to everyone who participated!

We filled 92 complete boxes this year, and had TONS of filler items that we were able to send to the Processing Center, for incomplete boxes.

Our boxes went to the Denver Processing Center this year, and will be distributed in South America!
