Thank You Hancock Park High School!


Special thanks to Hanover Park High School in East Hanover. They invited a couple of men from the Mission’s New Life Program to speak at an assembly at their school. Afterwards, the faculty and students collected donations for the Mission. They raised almost $1,600 dollars in cash and collected about $500 dollars worth of much-needed toiletry items! The school representatives dropped off the donation and were treated to a tour of the Mission.
