We are already beginning to plan our 2nd Annual Candlelight Vigil for this November. This event is to increase awareness of the children in foster care in our community, and encourage community members to step up and help a child in need.
If you've been by the Pope Street Cottage recently, you've likely noticed a lot of construction going on! JOMA Construction is working hard to repair and improve the cottage. They are replacing doors, windows, floors, and some of the porch. We appreciate your patience as we work to add to the Hope on Pope!
