Hope Store

Every Christmas, E91's Good Neighbor Program and Mary Castle Elementary team up to support families walking through a hard season. Parents build a wish list for their kids, from warm coats, hats, and gloves to the Christmas gifts their kids have been hoping for. The E91 family helps fill those lists.

Then in December, parents and caregivers come to the Hope Store and choose gifts for their own children. They get the joy of picking out something special themselves, and they leave knowing a whole church is cheering them on.

This year, we're growing. We'll walk alongside a few families from our Northside Campus community and expand our partnership to Lawrence North High School.

For many families, the Hope Store is their first introduction to E91's Good Neighbor Program. Good Neighbor walks alongside families all year, and it often starts with a gift and a conversation. From there, it grows into a relationship built on trust, prayer, and practical help.

Your faithful giving to E91 makes that possible. This past year, seven families moved into long-term, stable housing, and two more became homeowners. Parents found steadier work, families got reliable transportation, and some made it through hard legal situations that helped keep their families together.

Christmas brings us together. Our hope is that these relationships keep going long after the decorations come down.
