. . . than encouragement -- to you and to me -- to send a check to . . .
. . . Houston's own Star of Hope Mission.
Donations fall off after Christmas. Our dollars will be especially welcome now. You can give online or send a check to Star of Hope Mission, Post Office Box 4463, Houston, Texas 77210-4463.
Star of Hope is a Christ-centered ministry to Houston's homeless. A recent fundraising letter lists six major programs:
Feeding the hungry ("a good meal can be the first step to a better life").
Sheltering the homeless (each night more than 1,000 rely on Star of Home for a clean, secure place to stay).
Mothers with children ("We provide them the necessary life skills to become fully independent . . . .").
Caring for the sick (free medical care, emergency and preventive).
Educational programs (classes and tutoring for the GED).
Recovery ("Our recovery program helps them break free from [the chains of addiction] and stay clean . . . .").
Please help. These are good people doing good work.
