Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
HOPE Ministries would like to thank the Manteca Sunrise Kiwanis for their generous donation in support of our shelters for homeless families. The Pumpkin Fair is always a great event and enjoyed by people and families for miles around.

In addition to providing a great fun time for everyone who attends, this event provides support to non-profit organizations in our community that help people in need. This year, Manteca Sunrise Kiwanis kindly blessed HOPE Ministries with their support. HOPE has been sheltering families with children in Manteca since 1993, and has provided help for hundreds of families in the past sixteen years. We depend on the support of our community to continue helping these families. Our primary sources of funding are individual, church and organization donations.

Manteca is a caring and generous community and the Sunrise Kiwanis are a wonderful example of that compassion. We thank them for selecting HOPE Ministries and wish everyone who has helped us help others a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
