“Dark as my path may seem to others, I carry a magic light
in my heart. FAITH, the spiritual strong searchlight,illumines
the way,and although sinister doubts lurk in the shadow,
I walk unafraid toward the enchanted wood where the
foliage is always green, where joy abides…
in the presence of the Lord.”
-Helen Keller-

People who are Making a difference:
Volunteers are the backbone of Hope Food Pantry Austin (Hope). They make the organization possible in providing both the service and the energy it takes to run the pantry. They provide skills, experiences, and people power for Hope's mission of sustaining, strengthening, and educating disadvantaged families in the Austin area.Volunteers are the bridge to the various partnerships within the community.
Thank you St. Luke UMC, for sharing three phenomenal members who give their time, energy, and support to Hope. Diane Suder, Elizabeth Newell, and Gale Houston have devoted endless hours to Hope’s mission. As you know, each week they announce to congregants what Hope’s needs are, in order to fill the pantry shelves; they are members of the Hope Advisory Board, a group of volunteers who guides Hope towards reaching out and helping our neighbors; and they help promote and educate Hope’s mission to the community. Without them and your participation, Hope would not be able to sustain its momentum and outreach.
Thank you Diane, Elizabeth, and Gale for your many contributions to Hope and a big thank you to the St. Luke congregation for following their lead.
