thank you | angels of hope:

  • To all who participated in the Angels of Hope service project, please read the following letter from Chicagoland Prison Outreach:

    We wanted to say THANK YOU for being part of the Christmas Angels of Hope program to support the work of Chicagoland Prison Outreach! Together across the city we reached out to 160 families, 605 children, and provided over 2300 gifts. Those are amazing statistics! God's people were able to demonstrate the love of Christ to 605 children. This not only impacts the children, but it also impacts those who are incarcerated because it allows them the feeling of being part of their family's celebration even though they are physically separated. We at CPO praise God for this partnership. TOGETHER with God's Help, we are making a difference in the lives of those who are incarcerated, and their families! THANK YOU!
