Supporting Our Community During the Government Shutdown and SNAP Suspension

And Jesus said: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in . . .”

Matthew 25:35-37ļ»æ


Are you in need?

As the government shutdown continues, we know that many in our Cathedral of Hope family and our wider community may be directly impacted, especially by the suspension of SNAP (food assistance) benefits. In these uncertain times, we want to remind you that you are not alone.

Thanksgiving Basket Distribution


Thanksgiving reminds us, with food and friends, how blessed we are. For many years, Cathedral of Hope has had the tradition of giving thanks by sharing with others.

 

Each year, we provide all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal for hundreds of families who would otherwise go without a holiday meal. Shopping for the food and bringing it to church allows us to share our spirit as well as our food.

 

You can sign up to donate a basket or baskets between all of the worship services. You can also sign up to bring a basket on our website.
