Hope in Action was born from the belief that each of us must respond to the needs of those around us with love and hope. We provide food to the hungry, both locally and around the world, sharing the hope that comes from God through Jesus Christ.
Our goal is to be a consistent and active part of our local and global community through hands-on ministry. When we go into a neighborhood, we bring boxes of groceries to distribute to those in need and take time to share a hot meal with them and provide words of encouragement to fuel their hope for the future.
In addition to feeding our local community, we also provide over 100 hot meals a day to hungry children around the world with the help of our partner organization.
Helping the whole person means more than just making sure their physical needs are met. That is why we also host Festival of Hope in local communities. We currently reach is Winchester City and Frederick County, VA. Festival of Hope is a fun, family-friendly, community event where people can enjoy a meal together, have a great time, receive material help, and hear the Gospel message. They leave with a sense of hope, knowing there is a God who loves them.
We also conduct smaller “sidewalk” events where we serve a free lunch, give away grocery boxes, and spend time talking and praying with the community.
