Aiding
Families in Need
Helping
the poor and disenfranchised feel good at their point of need
is the mission of the Project Hope. Project Hope has for 34
years, provided crucial safety net and development services to
Whatcom County residents from a Christian perspective.
Project
Hope has aided families lacking basic necessities, closing the
gap of need for nutrition, housing, utilities, transportation,
medical and clothing. We also work for the disadvantaged by
leading our community to build on its own capacity to solve
problems.
Project
Hope exists to help build community. We define community as
“human relationships held together by relational ties, living
out a common purpose, through common participation.”
We are
attempting to work toward this goal through our personal and
corporate service, in such a way that will promote genuine
community under the care of God. We work to aid individuals
and families to serve one another. We work to aid and call our
neighbors to use the strength and resources of their
community, to bless those who have few resources.
We hope to
lead and encourage our community to work together to
accomplish their dreams, solve their problems, and bless
others with their faith and service. |

Seamen
Need Magazines
The Seamen
Center is getting low on some of the more popular devotional
and sports-type magazines. Seamen appreciate these since they
get off the ships so seldom. If you have any from the year
2000 or newer, please drop them off at the Project Hope office
on south B.C. Street in Lynden on Mondays, Wednesdays or
Fridays. The seamen thank you. |
