Jerome Church is beginning a new partnership with Hopewell Elementary (Dublin City Schools) to begin the Boxes of Hope program for the 2022-23 school year. Boxes of Hope provides a monthly box for the highest-need families at Hopewell Elementary. Each box contains items handpicked for each student and family, including educational items such as new books, STEM toys, and family activities such as board games, puzzles, and other age-appropriate activities. Additionally, each box will contain a variety of non-perishable food items and hygiene products for the family to utilize over the next month. These boxes bring a sense of hope, comfort and belonging to the children and families who receive them, as they are a tangible and practical gift of love shown to them.
Each box is uniquely curated and packed with love by the Jerome Church congregation and volunteers, and delivered to the families via trusted school representatives to maintain the privacy and security for the families. You can support this ministry by donating items to go in the boxes by shopping the Amazon Wish List or purchasing items at local stores and dropping of to Jerome Church. Gift cards are welcome to AMC theater, local bowling alleys and restaurants. When dropping off items, please mark “Boxes of Hope.”
