CLICK HERE TO VIEW CURRENT ITEM LISTINGS!!!!
Our receiving beneficiary for the 13th Annual Country Angel's Network Online Charity Auction is the Hope Outreach Center. Co-founded in 1998 by husband and wife, Vernon and Angela Talkington, the Hope Outreach Center operates out of Douglas, Georgia, aiding the Oak Park community in Coffee Country. Oak Park would be best described as a distressed neighborhood – in essence, it is an inner-city situation in a smaller population. Oak Park has the highest rate of criminal activity in Coffee County, especially those in the nature of violent crimes and drug related offenses. Many of the families there live in extreme poverty (less than $6,000 a year), and 85% of the children live in a home without a father.
Hope Outreach Center has a mission to do everything they can to ensure that these children are safe, fed, educated, and live in adequate housing. Some of the services that Hope Outreach Center provides include: daily evening meals, laundry facilities, drug and alcohol prevention, parenting classes, drama and choir classes, after school programs, tutoring, GED classes, food distributions, clothing assistance, and more! The couple concedes that “many people are not looking for a hand out, but a hand up.” Angela, adds, “You just never know who will come through those doors each day.”
Hope Outreach Center is run by a group of volunteers with the majority of their funding coming from patron donations. They do not receive grants from the government.
You may also snail mail your donation for the children at Hope Outreach Center!! Please make your money order or personal check out to Country Angel's Network and mail it to:
