House of Hope continues to provide help and hope to Branson community By K.D. MICHAELS, Staff Writer Branson’s House of Hope, a local outreach dedicated to helping meet the needs of the Branson community, recently joined forces with other Branson organizations for a day of fun and encouragement for the residents at Plato’s Cave. “Transportation and time restrictions are significant barriers to participating in services and community events. The goal of community outreach is to eliminate those obstacles by coming to the participants,” explained House of Hope’s Alex Sprinkle. “Each month House of Hope commits to a community outreach event. This month, House of Hope joined Sanctuary of Hope, Restoration Connec-
tion, Christian Action Ministries, and Gateway Church at Plato’s Cave.” Local residents were introduced to resources for food, hygiene needs and other areas of support. Said Sprinkle, “The event had dinner, snacks, snow cones, food bags, hygiene kids, bounce houses, face painting and worship music. Agencies in the community will continue to engage in community outreach events in different neighborhoods, apartment complexes and extended stays.” House of Hope’s next event is a summer cookout, August 10. “We are excited to announce an end-of-the-summer event,”
said Sprinkle. “Summer cookout is a time for families to celebrate one last time before school begins. This event is open to the community. Please bring your kiddos and join us for a night filled with food, snow cones, bounce house, yard games and live music. Christian Action Ministries will provide dinner for your family to enjoy.” The summer cookout will be held August 10, 5 to 7 p.m., in the parking lot of Riley’s Treasures and House of Hope, 217 Veterans Boulevard in Branson.
