The HOPE Packs program is a ministry of Elim Christian Services dedicated to equipping people to achieve their highest God-given potential. HOPE Packs provide adults with disabilities the opportunity to serve others through their daily work as they assemble school supply kits for children in the poorest homes and communities worldwide. When people with disabilities serve others they are overjoyed in knowing that they are making a difference. As children receive a gift as important as school supplies, there is renewed HOPE that they too can reach their highest God-given potential and begin breaking the chains of poverty.

HOPE Packs currently partners with two Christian International Relief Agencies:

• Global Aid Network (GAiN) is a multi-national network of ministries serving to demonstrate the love of God, through word and deed, to hurting and needy people around the world through relief and development projects. As the humanitarian aid arm of Campus Crusade for Christ International, the ministry of Global Aid Network spans the globe helping to meet physical needs in areas of poverty and despair and providing hope through evangelistic outreach. Global Aid Network partners with existing Campus Crusade for Christ ministries, local churches, missionaries, and other agencies to help distribute compassionate aid to impoverished countries around the world.

• Food for the Hungry is an international relief and development organization that answers God’s call to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the poor in more than 26 countries. Founded in 1971 by Dr. Larry Ward, Food for the Hungry exists to help individuals reach their God-given potential.

HOPE Packs seeks to continue to develop a community network of Christian organizations that work together to spread the love of Christ and meet the physical and spiritual needs of people.
