Back-to-school bright at Hope House
Hope House is appreciative of all the people and organizations who donated back-to-school items for residents there. Atlantic Builders, the FBI Critical Response Group and West Asset Management were especially helpful.
Also, Alexis Chamberlin collected supplies and clothing as part of her community service project to earn her Girl Scout Silver Award. The outpouring was so great, Hope House was able to share the supplies with area school districts.
