Angel Food for Oakland

Inspired by an Angel Food Ministry site she visited in New Brighton, Jo Ann Snow has put things in motion to start an Angel Food host site in Oakland at New Hope.

Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief to communities throughout the United States. Angel Food works through churches and community organizations in over 32 states.

Through Angel Food, host sites provide approximately $50 worth of groceries for $25. And, as Jo Ann likes to say, "if you eat, you qualify." Jo Ann hopes to have an Angel Food site established in Oakland by September.

If you would like to help Jo Ann with this ministry or sign up for food before we get a site in Oakland, please click here to email Jo Ann.

Biggest, Best Game Night Ever!

Last Saturday's game night at the Randall's was the biggest and best game night yet. By the time I arrived there was already a card game on the front porch, toddlers playing Hungry Hippos on the living room floor, young children playing video games on the computers and, in the dining room, 2 teams of adults deeply engrossed in a round of Cranium. The plethora of game players included both old and new NewHopers as well as several coworkers of Eric's. I understand that Eric worked hard at inviting friends, coworkers and neighbors. The fruit of his labor was obvious and a good time was had by all.
