For the past eight years, our Orange City My Day program has known what it feels like to be without a home. We bounced from one rental space to another—sometimes staying only six months, sometimes a year. None of those spaces were truly designed for the people we serve. And every time we had to move again, our members’ anxiety grew. Thanks to our generous supporters, that all changed this past spring. We built a new multipurpose facility, complete with accessible restrooms, a full kitchen, ample storage, and room to grow. Connected to our wheelchair workshop, it not only provides a permanent home for our members but also gives them meaningful ways to contribute to our ministry. As Hailey Lewis, the Orange City My Day Lead, shared when she first walked inside: “I love it. The colors, the rustic look, it’s beautiful. But more than that, it’s home.” Our members agree. Colin grinned and said, “There’s lots of stuff to do!” From cooking projects in the kitchen, to playing games, to volunteering in the workshop, this new home has sparked joy for the entire group. But most importantly, it has brought them peace. The constant stress of moving and the worry about accessibility and functional amenities is finally all behind them. Hailey shared, “If I put something in a box, a couple of my members ask, ‘Are we moving again?’ And I get to remind them, no. This is permanent, this is forever. Having their forever home here has minimized their anxiety, they don’t have to worry about anything. Now, they can just focus on themselves, and that has changed everything for them.” In this new season for the Orange City My Day program, we are reminded of God’s promise in Isaiah 32:18: “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” Supporters like you make it possible for us to continue our mission of creating spaces where individuals with disabilities can find community and purpose, and the opportunity to thrive. Will you consider a gift today to continue blessing individuals in programs like My Day with the security and stability they deserve? If you wish to contribute, please CLICK HERE to donate today. At Hope Haven, we exten d our heartfelt gratitude for your support and prayers in serving our mission now and in the future.

The new book “Hope in Action: The Story Mission and Vision of Hope Haven” is now available! Why write a book about Hope Haven? Come with us on a journey as we share how God has used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things in hopes of bringing Him the glory He deserves through Hope Haven. We will share where we’ve come from where we are now and where we hope to go. Hope Haven was started by a few people noticing a need gathering together and asking the simple question “What can we do to help?” Today that question continues to guide our ministry. The needs change but the call to care for one another and foster God-given potential in all people does not. We’re on a mission to serve a certain group of people. In every corner of the globe there are people with disabilities who are not being cared for or encouraged to reach their highest potential. Through God’s guidance and provision we help meet those needs all around the world. Whether it’s wheelchairs distributed in Romania or residential services in Rock Valley Iowa the needs are vast at home and abroad. As we share this story we invite you to consider how you might play a role in Hope Haven’s future.

Our story is a testimony that all good things start with a strong cup of coffee so if the Lord has placed a calling on your heart to help people with disabilities please know there’s a place for you here.

The proceeds from the book will support Hope Haven’s services and programs. Available now at amazon.com. Get your copy here: Hope in Action.
