Community Service

Community Support

As members of the SSA we discussed our desire to positively impact the community where we reside and decided to provide support, with personal donations of our time and items, for the House of Hope. The organization is located in Salt Lake City and is a non-profit organization that provides residences and treatment support for women and their children. A list with details of items that they currently need follows below. If you would like to support them we’ll have a Holiday Box at the SSA Potluck (Dec 18) for contributions of items. Also, Liz Arrington will let us know when they are in need of helping hands. We hope to participate in their “12 Days of Christmas” event by preparing a gift that will be delivered to the homes just prior to Christmas. More details to follow.

Wish List - Hope Store

Items for the Hope Store must be new. The Women do community service hours to earn Hope Dollars for all items and are encouraged to be self sufficient. The Hope store is for women who have no resources to get basic items and come to live at the House of Hope without any personal items. House of Hope does not receive any funding for the store. The store has had many empty shelves in 2009 due to the current economic environment. Below are some items that are needed, in order of most need.

Deodorant (Women)

Shampoo, Conditioner (Full size)

Towels

Diapers/Pullups in every size
