Dear Friends, 

As the calendar turns and we step into 2026, we pause to reflect with deep gratitude—and look ahead with great hope. What we accomplished together in 2025 is nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s all because of you. 

Because of your generosity and partnership, hope showed up where it was needed most. Families facing food insecurity received nourishment and dignity. Communities in crisis found relief. And countless lives were touched through simple, faithful acts of love. 

Together, we witnessed incredible milestones: 

  • Global Impact: Visionary Aaron Fisher carried six suitcases packed with dehydrated soup to Liberia, Africa during a missions trip—spreading nourishment and hope abroad. 
  • Growing Partnerships: We partnered with 1,700+ ministries, empowering them to share food and hope in their local communities. 
  • Extraordinary Service: Volunteers contributed 155,000 hours, transforming truckloads of food into manageable distributions that reached families in need.

These numbers tell a powerful story—but they only scratch the surface. Behind every truckload is a family fed, a prayer answered, and hope restored. And this is just the beginning. 

Watch our 2025 Highlights Video to see the impact you made possible: 

As we move into this new year, we do so with renewed energy, heartfelt gratitude, and great anticipation for what’s ahead. Thank you for standing with us, believing in the mission, and making compassion tangible. 

If you feel led to support this work, we’re still working toward our year-end goal. Every gift helps extend hope to more families and communities in the year ahead. 
 
Another exciting development
is our participation in Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP). Through this program, qualifying businesses that support our work may be eligible to receive Pennsylvania state tax credits for their contributions. These tax credits are provided directly to the business making the donation—not as funding to our organization—and are designed to encourage private-sector investment in programs that strengthen communities across the Commonwealth. 

We’re grateful to be able to offer this additional benefit to our food donation partners while continuing to serve those facing food insecurity. 

May 2026 be filled with joy, good health, and abundant blessings for you and your loved ones. We can’t wait to continue making a difference—together. 
 
With heartfelt thanks, 
Blessings of Hope 

This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:23–24
