Tonight Star of Hope will be recognized by State Farm Insurance as a State Farm “good neighbor” at the Astros Home Game at Minute Maid Park. We are honored to receive this recognition, and thankful for the help and support of State Farm and our community as we work to help the large numbers of families experiencing homelessness this summer in Houston.

We are intensely working to place the many families who are in our shelter, many sleeping on the floor, into more permanent programs and housing before school starts next week. Can you imagine being homeless, sleeping on a mat on the floor in a full homeless shelter, and getting your kids off to school all at the same time?

Please take a moment now to GIVE ONLINE or by pulling out your cell phone and texting the message: “SOH” to 20222 to give a $10 immediate gift to Star of Hope. AND… Beginning last Saturday, a generous Star of Hope Donor has agreed to MATCH the next 1,000 text gifts... so your text gift today can be doubled!

If you're in town I hope to see you at the Astros tonight. Many thanks, State Farm, for your great support and for being a "good neighbor" to our great city.

Hank
