YOU can help neighbors experiencing hunger and homelessness this Thanksgiving...       Join CityTeam now to bring HOPE to our neighbors experiencing homelessness and hunger this Thanksgiving! Every $1.89 you give will provide a meal and real hope.   Dear Joseph, While it's still September, I have no qualms talking about Thanksgiving! Especially in the midst of the pandemic, we all need reasons to be thankful and hopeful right now. Because of COVID-19, CityTeam is anticipating that the need to help our neighbors will be greater than ever before. We'll have more meals to serve, groceries to provide, and HOPE to ignite! It could very well be our  busiest season ever as we expect to serve more than 20,000 meals. Right now through Thanksgiving, your financial partnership would be such a blessing to a neighbor in need. And it's so easy to help. Every $1.89 you give now will share a hearty Thanksgiving meal and compassionate care.         Share Thanksgiving HOPE! GIVE NOW         Join the effort to help struggling families thrive at Thanksgiving Being scared about one's physical health in the pandemic is enough in itself. But when families are impacted economically too, the fear can be paralyzing. "How will we pay for gas and food this month?" so many of our neighbors ask. "I lost both of my part-time jobs, my paychecks, and the rent is due in a week...I can't do this." These are very real worries any one of us could have right now. They're exactly what our neighbors are facing. It's your partnership with CityTeam that will help someone not only get immediate help in difficult times, but also get connected with caring people who will help them in their life journey. The real power of your generosity today When you give a gift online now, every $1.89 will provide a Thanksgiving meal served with compassion, showing someone the life-changing truth that Thanksgiving is HOPE! But the real power of your gift is that your generosity will rescue lives and share the promise of God's redemptive and unconditional love. Thank you for your partnership and continued support in our community during such a critical time! With gratitude, Kwinn Tucker Executive Director, CityTeam P.S. No one in the Chester area should go hungry, especially at Thanksgiving! So please give a gift now.     "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

Running out of energy, I think of others with addiction

 

When I’m Running Out of Energy, I Think of Others Who Have Struggled with Addiction By Jason Brown Partner for Hope Marathon Team Member March 1, 2015. The turning point. The day I used to refer to as the worst day of my life. I was arrested in New Jersey for drug possession and charged with my second DUI. My car was totaled and my license revoked. I will never be able to forget telling my parents and the mother of my child that my irresponsible actions were negatively affecting our family and that I could very well face jail time. It was that day that I kissed my old life goodbye. I began working my way toward a life of appreciation and gratitude. I knew, just as I knew in college, that my current lifestyle was not sustainable. During this time, my family stayed solidly behind me, and told me that they did not want me to suffer by myself. They told me that we would get through it together. I also looked at my son, who was only five at the time, and knew that it was my job to keep him on the right path. He was, and is, my biggest inspiration. Two years later, during a time of transition in my life, I took up running.
