Thanksgiving Dinner 2009
Voice of Hope was excited to welcome 86 families to our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner; the total attendance was over 330. This year was an amazing year as we had 75 volunteers from partnering organizations come out to host our families for food & fellowship. While dining with a meal of baked chicken, potatoes and veggies our families were able to meet new people from across the Dallas County and experience the love of God.
We would like to send a special thank you to our volunteers and partners:
Reunion Church
We would like to thank everyone for their hard work and service. We collected 133 turkeys & hams for our West Dallas Community and we will continue to distribute Thanksgiving blessings to our families and communities throughout the week.

ASPIRE has begun!
On August 31, 2009, we opened our after school doors to 300 West Dallas students. Our ASPIRE program gives students, grades Pre-K through 12th, a safe & fun place to go after school. Students receive help with homework, reading skills, enjoy a hot meal, and have time to interact with friends in a positive environment. We welcome students from DISD, IISD, West Dallas Community School and Focus Learning Academy to come and share in on the fun Monday - Thursday. On Fridays we take a break from studying to enjoy an afternoon of fellowship with our weekly Bible Club. We invite your support of our ASPIRE program, helping to change lives...one child at a timesm, by becoming a Volunteer or by joining our Circle of Friends.
