House of Hope Book Drive

House of Hope in Lowell is an incredible organization that serves the homeless families of Lowell. Currently, they have 75 children in their houses, and I’d like to provide enough books for them for the holidays. 

From the HOH website: 

“Below is a list of some of the services we provide:

Emergency food, shelter and clothing for 58 families at four shelter sites
Case Management work with residents to assess their circumstances and plan for their futures
On-site behavioral and physical health support and referrals
A limited number of permanent housing units with rental assistance and supportive services
Children’s services cover a wide spectrum of outreach, intervention, engagement and love
A structured employment-readiness program with Internship positions, employment education, and one-on-one job coaching, available for adult residents who have little prior success with employment
The Hope Chest, a children’s resale clothing store that provides customer service internships for clients while serving low-income families in the Greater Lowell area
The Housing Resource Center, which works actively with all parents to quickly secure a stable home for their families and provide goal-oriented stabilization services for families we rehouse in the community to assist them in remaining stably housed”

The money donated here will go towards the purchase of books for these kids this season. With kids aged from newborn through young adult, these families will receive high quality, beautiful books for the holidays. More money, more books! Usborne matches a portion of orders above $250, so if giving is in your heart this season, please donate.

Want to personally order a book for one or more of the children at House of Hope? Let me know and I will be happy to help.

Let’s lift these families up this season, and give them the gift of good stories and the power of the written word. Any excess funds will go directly to House of Hope.
