January is a month filled with new beginnings. It’s the perfect time to access our lives and make the changes that we need for a better year. Personally, I’ve never been big on making New Year’s resolutions. I simply don’t like that word and all the pressure associated with it! I do, however, enjoy taking a step back and looking at how I am living my life and decide to make a few tweaks going forward – for the better! I do my best to evaluate myself holistically. I think about how I am doing spiritually, physically and relationally. Am I slipping in some of these areas? What do I need to do to get back on track? Usually a few changes can make a huge difference. While going through this process, it is always important for me is to remember…that it isn’t all about me! What I am doing to make a difference in the lives of others? How can I better serve those who need assistance?

Supply Hope is focused on providing a path out of poverty through micro-franchising. Our work in Nicaragua has been amazing. we have been coming along side of families that were earning $2 a day or less and equipping them with the tools they need to operate a micro-franchise. We have seen their income increase to as much as $10 a day. This is huge for these families! Not only are they now able to meet their basic needs but they truly have hope for a better future.

On Friday, February 6, 2015 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (CST) at the River Roast, 315 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL , Supply Hope will be hosting a fun night of improv comedy, delicious food, and an inspiring story of how Supply Hope is changing lives. We would love for you to join us.
