The Story Behind The Bell…

After a powerful storm, thousands of starfish washed up along the shore. A young boy walked the beach, picking them up one by one and tossing them back into the ocean. A man watching him said, “There are thousands of starfish on this beach. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The boy picked up another starfish, tossed it into the water, and replied, “I made a difference to that one.”

At Hope First, we believe in making a difference one life at a time. That’s why the sound of a bell ringing throughout our office has become so sweet and meaningful. Each ring celebrates one more life saved and reminds us why our work matters.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 17th Annual Story of Hope Banquet and to those who were unable to attend but continue to stand with Hope First. Your prayers, generosity, and support make a lasting difference for the families and fathers we serve in our community.

As we heard throughout the evening, the new fight for life has begun, and there is still work to be done. Together, we can continue providing life-affirming care, equipping fathers to lead their families, and walking alongside parents as they choose life.

When your group fills bottles, you’re defending the most vulnerable lives in our community —
both the baby and the mother.

You’re helping us reach families the moment they need compassion, clarity, and the Gospel most.

This is what it looks like when the Church stands for life.

Give by cash, check, or online.

Meet the Team Behind Hope First! 💙

Take a moment to meet the people who help make our mission possible! From providing compassionate care to supporting families through unexpected pregnancies, each member of our team plays an important role in serving our community and empowering individuals to make life-affirming choices.

We are blessed to have so many dedicated hands on deck, each bringing unique gifts, talents, and a heart for serving others. Together, we work toward a shared mission of ensuring every individual who walks through our doors feels supported, valued, and cared for.

To our Life Savers, thank you for standing alongside us and making this work possible!

The Story of Hope Banquet held the proclamation that we need men to make a difference…in our families, in our culture, and in our community. Thank you Sean Corcoran for your powerful message & passion behind the things you shared with us.

The night was full of beauty at The Rustic Barn at Half Moon & we thank MISSION BBQ for catering our night. The night would not have been as memorable without the hard work of Ben & his team Dream Entertainment NC.

The Story of Hope will continue as our community, churches, and families know that Hope First provides free & confidential services. Thank you to every Life Saver that showcases the importance of life.

When your church joins the Baby Bottle Campaign, you are literally becoming
the hands that hold up struggling parents,
the feet that walk with them,
and the heart that shows them Christ.

Every bottle says, “You’re not alone. We’re with you.”
This is how the Church stands for life.

Give by check, cash, or online.
Sign up with Samantha Sperlich, Development Director — 910-930-7000.
