Serving by Saving!

We have recently picked up a new way of helping out here at VOH…couponing! This unique ministry began in September when it was started by our social worker/counselor, Heather Starkweather. These past 5 months have been so successful, and we are very thankful for all of the coupon donations we have received, and how God has provided for us in this area. So far our total savings since we started has been $859.16. That is an average of $169.63 per month! This is truly a great blessing to us.

Our staff, interns, volunteers, and residents stay very busy each week clipping, sorting, and filing coupons! We also have a couple of volunteer shoppers who go out and find great bargains for us. Our greatest need is for additional shoppers who would be willing to use our coupons to go purchase the items for us.  Oftentimes you can just add this to your regular weekly shopping.

If you are interested in getting involved in this ministry in any way, please contact Heather at hstarkweather@faithlafayette.org

Bethany Dunn
Bethany heard about Vision of Hope while attending Word of Life Bible Institute in Florida. When she began praying about what God wanted her to do after graduating, He kept bringing Vision of Hope to her mind. Knowing that there was an internship available, Bethany applied, was accepted, and began her internship with VOH in July, 2012. Since then she has been amazed at the opportunities God has given her to learn more about His Word and how it applies to everyday life. Bethany now serves on staff at Vision of Hope.
