A very big THANK YOU to the Future Business Leaders of America from Sutter Union High School! Club members donated 4 computers, 2 tables, 6 chairs, a file cabinet, printer, bookcase, resource and pleasure reading books, and a mountain of office supplies. With advisor Charm Simlick and technology instructor Doug Ahlers, the club is creating a new Communications and Career Center that will serve our guests.
Raising funds with a Spaghetti Dinner and Dessert Auction earlier in the school year, the group purchased office supplies and equipment, brought the refurbished computers, and arranged everything in the room.
HOH volunteer Jim Leonard assisted Doug with getting the computers connected.
Hands of Hope is a locally chartered non-profit corporation formed to provide supportive services to homeless families with children, seeking to alleviate the conditions leading to chronic homelessness.
While our motivation is rooted in the charitable traditions of all world religions, Hands of Hope is independent of any specific religious group.
We welcome participation by all persons of good will regardless of faith affiliation.

PEPSI-COLA FUNDS VAN PURCHASE FOR HANDS OF HOPE
Hands of Hope gratefully acknowledges John and Ellie Cary of Yuba City for sponsoring a “Pepsi Refresh” grant of $10,000 for the purchase of an eight-passenger van for our work with local homeless families and individuals.
Celebrating the Cary’s sale of their bottling franchise to Pepsi Beverages Company, the grant will empower Hands of Hope to extend services into Yuba County and outlying areas of Sutter County.
Larry Geweke Ford of Yuba City also participated in the project, locating and refurbishing the Ford E-350 van, and providing it at a significantly reduced cost. Our sincerest thanks to both these local families for their longstanding commitments to community service.
