Save the Date for Sundowners 2024

Greetings Friends of Hope in South Africa!

We hope that you will join us at Lock Overlook Farm for our annual fundraiser at Sundowners in Dickerson, Maryland this fall. Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 19th at 1 pm. 

We were thrilled to complete the much needed purchase and installation of our generator last year. Thank you for helping us "Power UP Hope" in 2023 and graciously supporting our efforts. The investment you made enabled us to provide our services with a reliable source of power as well as install paving around our infrastructure to protect it from the ravages of high winds, dust and mud. 

This year we are focused on improving a different component of our program. 

Will you Drive for Change in 2024?  

Our goal is to raise $35,000 to support our efforts to purchase a new vehicle and other mission critical infrastructure needs.

Each year our staff and support team identify a specific necessity and we work state-side to fund their priority. E-Learning Center expansion, Soup Kitchen expansion, Reliable Power Supply have been identified and accomplished in prior years. 

We need your investment this year to address our ability to procure necessary supplies, provisions and donations. After 10 years, we plan to purchase a new vehicle. We need a reliable pick-up style truck (bakkie) to bring back things like those 1,100 pounds of squash for the Soup Kitchen and mobilize our food distribution to the nearby Squatters Camp. 

Support our efforts to bring Hope to the community in Richmond.

Please know that your gift will go a long way towards meeting our infrastructure goals and our long-term commitment toward improving the quality of life in Richmond.

Please share our campaign with anyone you think would be interested in supporting our mission.

Become a part of Hope in South Africa's Driving for Change in 2024!
