Open Door Mission (www.opendoormission.org.) invites the community to take part in a series of meaningful events this July, each designed to bring hope and practical help to those in need. As the Mission commemorates 70 years of changing lives, every event highlights a unique way to get involved and make a real difference.
Kick off the month at the Storm Chasers Tailgate Party on Saturday, July 12, from 4:00–6:00 p.m. at Werner Park. Join us during the Storm Chasers’ Faith and Family Night to celebrate 70 years of life-changing impact. Enjoy food, fellowship and fun while honoring the mission’s legacy of compassion and transformation.
With dangerously high summer temperatures, the Hydrate for Hope drive on Thursday, July 17, from 6:00–10:00 a.m. is a vital effort to collect bottled water for the homeless. Just one case can be lifesaving. Your simple act of generosity can offer hope and hydration during the hottest days of the year.
Finally, step up to fight hunger at Christmas in July on Saturday, July 26, from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. With food insecurity up 50% and 68% of local children relying on school meals, summer becomes the hungriest season for many families. This event helps stock shelves and fill plates during the toughest time of year for struggling families.
Join Open Door Mission in being a beacon of hope this summer. Every donation, every volunteer and every moment of support changes lives. Learn more at www.opendoormission.org.
