An Amazing First Day at the Fair ❤️

Several of our residents had an absolutely amazing first day at the Mercer County Fair! They handed out popcorn, shared stories, laughed with people in our community, and even shared a few emotional moments.

What made the day so special was simply being out in the community and allowing people to see what the Mercer County House of Hope is truly about. These men and women are more than their past. They do recover. They just need support, encouragement, and someone willing to believe in them.

We are so incredibly blessed to live in such an amazing and supportive community. ❤️

You still have plenty of time to come out and see us at the Mercer County Fair! We only have day one in the books, and there is still plenty of popcorn to share! 🍿

Stop by, say hello, grab some popcorn, and hear a story that might just change the way you look at recovery. ❤️

Our residents have worked incredibly hard to overcome obstacles, rebuild their lives, and create a better future for themselves. We would love the opportunity to share their stories and show you what recovery truly looks like.
Come see us, grab some popcorn, and support our residents! 🍿💙

What a fun, faith-filled, and busy weekend for our residents at Mercer County House of Hope!

We were honored to participate in the Celina Lake Festival Parade, where one resident shared how incredible it felt to see the community cheering, clapping, and supporting them along the parade route. Moments like that remind our residents that recovery is possible and that they are valued by the community around them.

After the parade, we celebrated one of our residents' birthdays with delicious pizza from Celina Wine Store.

Today, we continued the weekend by attending Church at the Lake, followed by giving back through community service by helping with games after the service.

This weekend was a beautiful reminder that our community truly supports those in recovery. The love, encouragement, and opportunities our residents receive are blessings that help restore hope and remind them they are never alone on their recovery journey.

Thank you to everyone who continues to believe in and support recovery. Your kindness makes a lasting difference.

Tonight, I had the honor of attending the Miss Lake Festival's first annual Service Night, and my heart is incredibly full.

To say I was overjoyed as I put away all of the donated items for our welcome baskets and the everyday needs of our residents would be an understatement. Every time I open that closet, I don't just see shelves of supplies—I see hope, encouragement, compassion, and the reminder that our residents have a community that believes in them.
I am so thankful for the way God continues to provide through the generosity of others. It is amazing to see how He works through people who are willing to give, serve, and love without expecting anything in return.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this possible. Your kindness is more than just meeting physical needs—it reminds our residents that they are valued, supported, and never alone. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such an incredible community.
