On Oct. 31st, 2009, Dan River Church and servedanville.com partnered with the House of Hope to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere for the homeless.  We cleaned essentially everything from windows to toilets and everything in between.  We hung decorations, provided floor mats, carpet runners, shower curtains and soap dispensers.  On the outside we did some pressure-washing of the parking lot and the brick outside.  Many brought canned goods to help stock their pantry and left them with a gift basket of snacks, movies and magazines.  The volunteers served the homeless with Christ-like humility by the sweat of their brows without any complaining.  The Lord spoke of the kind of service he expects from His people, “Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house;”(Isaiah 58:7).  Thank you to all who participated in making a difference in our community!
