Dear Supporter,

As a non-profit HOPE worldwide, Ltd. Michigan branch, we are always looking for ways to help fund our operations without putting a large burden on the people we serve and without increasing our administrative costs. Recently, we took advantage of an opportunity to participate in a new program offered by Meijer. We are now enrolled in Meijer Community RewardsSM.

Meijer Community RewardsSM allows us to raise funds to meet our organization's goals very quickly and easily. Here's how you can participate. We need you, our supporter, to join Meijer Community RewardsSM. It's free and can be done online at Meijer.com/rewards. Then, simply use your Meijer Guest CardSM, or Meijer Credit Card whenever you shop at Meijer. Use it for food, clothing, toys, house wares, jewelry, hardware, garden and more! We’ll automatically receive a percentage of your purchase totals.

This program can make a wonderful difference for HOPE worldwide, Ltd.
Michigan branch. We’ll be using the funds initially for books for underprivileged children, literacy program initiatives and Christmas programs. The program automatically earns money whenever you shop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The 2008 HOPE worldwide Volunteer Corps application is now available!

HOPE worldwide Volunteer Corps (HVC) provides an incredible opportunity for singles, marrieds, and families to spend 10 to 12 days serving the world's most poor. HVC runs simultaneously with HOPE Youth Corps and gives participants an opportunity to visit and encourage Christians in churches outside of their local congregation. Participants are also given opportunities to play with, serve, and love children and families living in extreme poverty, following Jesus' commandments to love the unloved. There is daily time set aside where the HVC has the opportunity to join the HOPE Youth Corps for devotionals; these times are encouraged but not required for those travelling on the HOPE worldwide Volunteer Corps.

International locations this year include Cambodia - June 6-20 and Indonesia - August 1-15.

Within the U.S., individuals and families are able to serve in the Gulf Coast, helping with the continuation of HOPE worldwide's efforts to rebuild New Orleans.

Dates of HVC in the Gulf Coast, U.S. are July 7-17, July 21-31, and Aug 2-12.
