Together, the new Anticipation sings at around 100 concerts together a year. They are out of Hannibal, MO and travel many miles every year, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Stewards of Hope Needs Your Help!
Stewards of Hope International of Highland
needs your help in finding a new home!
The group is needing to move
out of their current location and is looking for something in the Highland area that would fit their needs for storing, packaging and shipping items donated to them.
The ideal location would have the following:
Minimum of 600ft
Exterior door at least 6ft wide
Overhead door with an 8ft clearance
Temperature controlled for food storage
24/7 Access
Capability to back up a truck to the access door to load and
unload the boxes we send.
Optimally, the space would have access to a platform for loading pallets onto a commercial truck for shipment to FL
(helpful but not a deal breaker)
If you or someone you know may be able to accommodate the Stewards of Hope of Highland, please contact Michele Korte Capelle at mcapelle@stewardsofhope.org or 618-304-9940
