Bags of Hope Update 

Bags of Hope

We would like to thank you for your support of our Bags of Hope project. Because of you we have been able to touch the lives of teens impacted by April's tornados. You have been a huge source of hope and encouragement in the lives of teens that have experienced great devastation. During a time of hopelessness you have helped provide hope, answers and love; and for that we are truly grateful.  

 

We wanted to provide you with an update and show you the great impact you have made:

-          Locally, we have received nearly 200 filled Bags of Hope

-          First Priority in Hattiesburg, MS, filled 250 Bags of Hope for Alabama teens

-          First Priority delivered over 100 Bags of Hope to teens at Daniel Payne Middle School

-          First Priority has distributed bags in Pleasant Grove, Concord, Forestdale, Bibb County and Shoal Creek Valley

-          In the next two weeks First Priority students across the country will be bringing more bags to Alabama to distribute to teens in Walker County and Tuscaloosa

 

We also wanted to share with you just a few of the communities that have taken on this project so we could all celebrate what God is doing:

 

Birmingham, AL (FP Greater Birmingham, AL)

Hattiesburg, MS (FP South Mississippi)

Johnson City, TN (FP BlueRidge, TN)

West Orange, NJ (FP Essex Co, NJ)

Shreveport, LA (FP ArkLaTex)

Corbin, KY (FP Tri-County, KY)

Canton, SD (FP Great Plains, SD+IA)

Nashville, TN (FP Greater Nashville, TN)

Middlesboro, KY (FP Tri-States KY/VA/TN)

New Orleans, LA (FP NOLA)

Many more teachers, youth pastors, business leaders, students and families.

 

There are still opportunities to minister to teens through our Bags of Hope project. Click here to learn how you can help. Please help us continue to provide teens devastated by the storms with emotional and spiritual encouragement.
