Hagar's Hope is not named after Sammy Hagar as I am often asked. The name comes from the woman, Hagar, whose story is documented in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Hagar was a slave woman in the household of Abram and Sarai (later known as Abraham and Sarah). When Sarai gave up on her dream to be a mother, she gave her slave to Abram as a concubine so that she might bear children for him. When Hagar became pregnant, she got a little full of herself and rubbed it in Sarai's face. Sarai burned with jealousy and anger and began abusing Hagar. When Hagar could take no more, she fled into the desert, alone and with nowhere to go. On her journey, the Angel of the Lord appeared to her and asked, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from and where are you going?" After explaining herself, the Angel of the Lord instructed Hagar to return to her mistress, but he did not send her away empty. He sent her with a promise of a future for her and her son. As an expression of the hope she had been give, Hagar assigns God a name. She is, in fact, the first person in the Bible to assign God a name-- what an honor to bestow on a slave woman. Hagar spoke the name El Roi, the God who sees. God saw Hagar in her affliction and he met her with hope. There are so many beautiful lessons in the story of Hagar. The lesson that lead me to the name for this organization, though, is the importance of being seen and given hope. The board of Hagar's Hope and our partners/supporters at Hope Initiative of Henry County, the Henry County Health Department, and within local government see the women of Henry County who suffer and struggle to grasp hope.

As the Black Friday sales roll in, I’d like to share our Amazon wish list again! On the top of the list is a few board games- we’d love to be able to start having game nights with the ladies more often! Huge thanks to each and every one of you that has been so generous this far 💕

Heading into the danger zone (also known as WalMart, lol!) to finish my Thanksgiving shopping in preparation for dinner with the ladies on Thursday. I'm so glad I fueled up with a delicious coffee from Café Royal to prepare for this adventure! More than that, I am thankful for local businesses like Café Royal who are willing to employee our ladies and help them contribute to the community as hard-working, tax-paying citizens.

If you haven't been there in a while, stop in for lunch or just a quick coffee! The chicken fajita panini is my favorite! And, as a pretty basic white girl, I'm partial to the pumpkin spice latte. 😋 But they have so many options to choose from! And the south-bound lane of state road 3 is finally open, so it's easy to get to again!

We had some leftovers last night. Today we packed up 40 meals and they are being delivered to various neighborhoods and establishments where we know people in need tend to congregate.

Thank you again to everyone who is supporting us and joining in the mission to serve New Castle/Henry County. Bless you all! ❤️

We have a need that has come up and we'd like to get it together before the holiday... we actually need chairs for our dining room. We had chairs donated when we first opened, but they were in pretty rough shape. Over time they have given up the ghost and we are left with just a few seats at a 10-person table. If you happen to have some unwanted chairs sitting in a corner or barn, we'd be so happy to get them out of your way. 😉
