Back To School Packing Is Well Underway! Our dedicated Mission of Hope Volunteers are busy packing paper, pencils, pens, glue sticks, backpacks and every other School Supply you can imagine for 12,000 Students in the 30 Elementary Schools we serve in Rural Appalachia. They brave the heat and humidity of the warehouse with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!!!!
