Hope Headlines
As an important part of Hope’s efforts to provide nutritious food to recipients; fresh produce is always one of the most popular things the organization supplies.
One way that need is met is through a garden plot just beyond the Holy Trinity Church parking lot (between the lot and the cemetery at the rear of the property). Volunteers have planted items such as tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, zucchini and various other things in 36 raised beds inside the fenced-off area.
More goodies – especially herbs – are grown for Hope at Simply Crepes Kitchen, 1299 Bay Road, whose owners are also volunteers for Hope. Three volunteers have taken on the responsibility for tending that plot.
Other volunteers are needed through the summer to tend and harvest the garden at Holy Trinity. Anyone interested in helping should look for notifications on the Hope Facebook page (@WebsterNYHOPE) about scheduled times for garden work.
How does Hope’s garden grow? With volunteers
Another way to support Hope’s effort to supply fresh, locally grown food to its recipients is to donate the bounty of your summer garden. Have more tomatoes or zucchini than you can handle? Hope can find someone who’d love to enjoy it.
Hope’s annual event to supply new school supplies to Webster students will take place at Hope 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday Aug. 18.
The event relies on community donations to stock the back-to-school shop at Hope. New school supplies can be dropped off at Webster Public Library, 980 Ridge Road, or at Hope during any open hours.
“This program came about because so many people who come to Hope were concerned that their children would not have all the supplies on the list,” said Hope Director Margery Morgan. “And no one wants their child to feel different from other classmates. That is why we ask for new supplies.”
Morgan said a few years ago she calculated a typical family’s cost for school supplies at $40 to $50 per child, not including clothing. To help with the clothing needs, new socks and underwear of all children’s sizes are also welcome.
In addition to the supply distribution, representatives of the Webster Public Library and the Webster Health and Education Network (WHEN) will be on hand with goodies of their own to distribute. Free ice cream also will be available.
The needed items, as drawn from supply lists from Webster Schools, include the following
Backpacks, string bags

Washable bold/broad line markers
