Our annual Day On Campus, now known as Day Of Hope, is coming up on Saturday, March 8th on our Enterprise Campus. It's a special day where we invite our friends to learn about our ministry, as well as how they can connect and engage with the special work that they make possible. And while there will continue to be tours of our Enterprise campus, a box lunch under the big tent, and special programming, we're working on ways to enhance the experience! Additional breakout sessions and more family-friendly activities for our younger guests are just a couple of the ways we're making it more enjoyable. Stay tuned for more exciting information, including how to RSVP for the big day!

The youth on our Enterprise campus performed the Christmas Story for members of our Board of Trustees, local community leaders, and other invited guests. Rev.
Madeline Luzinski, Director of Pastoral Care, can be seen as one of the angels. Madeline's infant son, Luke, made his acting debut in the greatest role as Baby Jesus. Santa was also on hand, and guests enjoyed cookies and other treats after the performance.

Eventure USA hosted a Santa Lunch at the Cracked Egg Diner in Daytona Beach Shores to benefit our Foster Care program. Several of our foster children were on hand to see Santa, and his elves helped to pass out gifts. The gifts donated were distributed to several of our foster families in that area. Thank you to Eventure USA for organizing the event, and to Cracked Egg for hosting.

TelAffects LLC hosted a fun-filled pizza and gingerbread building party for our incredible teens. It was an evening of laughter, creativity and connection, as they spent time with these resilient, young people who are making the best of difficult circumstances. One of the TelAffects folks shared the following: "During our time with the teens, we had the honor of interacting with nearly 30 young people, ages 12 to 17, all of whom have faced significant trauma and adversity. For them, Residing Hope is more than a place - it's home! These kids are resilient, kind, and inspiring, and we are deeply grateful to bring a little holiday cheer their way. We're thankful to be part of such a meaningful cause, and proud of the work being done at Residing Hope to help these young lives heal and thrive."

We need bath mats for inside the shower and shower curtains with rings. Thank you so much!
