SUMMARY:First Sunday Collection - Anchored Hope
DESCRIPTION:Our First Sunday collection recipient for February is Anchored Hope. \nAt 18\, foster youth age out of the system\, often without the safety net of a family or support system.  As a result\, one in five young adults face immediate homelessness. In Iowa approximately 450 youth age out of foster care each year\, stepping into an uncertain and challenging world. \nAnchored Hope is a new faith-based transitional living program in Ames\, designed for young women ages 18-24 who have aged out of foster care. Through safe housing\, structured programs\, and mentoring\, Anchored Hope provides a pathway to help these young women realize their God-given potential. Offering a supportive community and life-skills training will help them become independent\, thriving adults. The two-year program includes: Life Skills Training; Job Readiness and Education; Health and Wellness; Financial Literacy; and Community. \nAnchored Hope recently purchased a six-bedroom\, four-bathroom house and anticipates welcoming the first residents by July 1. The First Sunday collection will go toward furnishing the house and creating personalized welcome kits for each young woman. \nFor more information on this organization\, visit https://anchoredhopehouse.org/  \nWrite checks either to ““DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line or to “Anchored Hope.”   \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE February 9th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310 \nFirst Sunday checks must be received by DMIEC by February 20th; if you elect to contribute to the First Sunday recipient after that date\, please mail your check (made payable to the recipient with “DMIEC” in the memo line) directly to Anchored Hope\, P.O.
