More Faith, More Impact in 2022
Happy New Year! The entire Greenhouse Project team is humbled by the support of loyal volunteers, partners and friends – thank you for helping us thrive during a time when so much is uncertain. We continue to believe that Jesus will increase our impact in 2022!
Major highlights from the past year:
Five+ mobile food outreach sites in Chester and Philly
After school Homework club launch with Innovate Academy
New staff members join our team
Second location acquired with development plans
This is crazy: I just looked over content from this time last year, and every goal from that bullet list is shown above… it became reality and part of the highlight reel!
Our greatest success, however, is always with people. Relationships with recovering addicts committed to the hard work, helping moms go back to school, and engaging with neighbors seeking church, prayer and friendship. Check out their stories on our blog.
In 2021, God provided strong church partnerships with Valleypoint, Covenant Fellowship, Real Church Brookhaven, Media Presbyterian, Calvary Chapel of Delaware County, Woodlyn Baptist, Norwood United Methodist and Small Things Philly. Each one of these churches has prayed, supported and volunteered in so many ways – thank you for being champions of our mission!
Church partners have made significant financial investments, as well as providing for us physically. Our newest partner Covenant Fellowship led a Boxes of Love outreach initiative during Christmastime. Through Boxes of Love, donors blessed our under-resourced neighbors with 2,355 pounds of fresh produce, 170 food boxes and 108 large turkeys. What’s more, six families received over 100 Christmas gifts. YOU made such a huge impact at Christmas – thank you!
Finally, this giving season was marked by the incredible generosity around our year-end Give to Grow challenge. It’s hard to articulate how much we’re grateful for your help. Thanks to your support, we are fully funded this year..
This is a time to dream big with faith and hope about expanding, refining and doing more of what makes the most impact in 2022. We are so glad you’re here. Will you join us in what’s next?
