Saturday December 23rd hand of Hope hosted it’s annual Christmas Hope event where several local families were given Christmas presents, food for their pantries, and a luncheon in their honor. Eight crisp county families received this blessing from many community members who contributed to the event. Crisp County high school senior, Dixie Fuller organized the purchase of all the gifts that were given. Carterburgers restaurant and members of New Covenant assembly of God furnished the meal. Grocery boxes were prepared using groceries donated by Save A Lot Food store and our local  Norboard Industry employees.
