It was a sunny Friday evening in late March when several New Hope volunteers joined We Care Outreach partners to serve burgers and hot dogs, give out clothing items and bus passes, and pray for Lee County residents in need. Plates of Hope exists to love the homeless and hungry from a location in North Fort Myers, with a specific desire to see those in need be fed and clothed. Through compassionate outreach, food distribution, emergency housing support, case management, life-skills training, and recovery-focused programs, We Care Outreach seeks to restore dignity, stability, and hope while meeting both physical and spiritual needs in the community. If you have a gift for loving the underserved or long to see community transformation in these ways, you’re welcome to join our team! Reach out to Rachel via email at rachel@newhopefortmyers.org about ways to serve with Plates of Hope and other homeless outreach events throughout the year. Please pray for Tanya Johnson, who leads the cause at We Care, that God would gift her with physical health, endurance, and unending joy for the work to which God has called her.
