The Greater New Hope Baptist Church will hold its annual Food and Clothing Giveaway on Saturday, July 27 from 8 AM-2 PM. In conjunction with the Cenla Juvenile Officers Association, the program is free and open to the public and will be handing out free food and free clothes to all. 

 

It can be hard to keep up with the wardrobes of growing children but Rev. Vincent Parker, Pastor of New Hope, wants to ensure that back to school time is not a hardship. Providing clothes, while also filling bellies, promotes the idea of a new beginning for Central Louisiana students and their families. It is the perfect start to a new school year. 

 

The Greater New Hope Baptist Church is located at 630 Jackson Street, Alexandria.
