On Saturday, April 21, 2018, HOPE worldwide Reno Chapter, Greater Reno Church of Christ, Alpha Phi Omega, Cannan Families, & staff came to Rita Cannan and volunteered their time and services to the incredible Cannan campus. HOPE worldwide united in service to address unmet community needs and engage volunteers in acts of service.

HOPEww was the group at the beginning of the year that provided a backpack for every student at Cannan which has made an impact and been helpful for all of our kiddos. The work and services that they did for our campus this past Saturday was so fabulous. We had over 30 volunteers, several families, Mrs. Millan, Mrs. Bayliss, Dr. Humphreys, Mr. Bobby and myself (and Declan) working to make Cannan so beautiful. The work that was done was painting and beautifying the planter boxes at the front of the school, painting all the yellow arcs by all the doors, repainted a couple hopscotch courts, and cleaning/picking up trash for the entire campus, playgrounds, and garden.

It was such a fabulous day and we appreciate the organization's dedication to the Cannan Community and School.

Thank you, everyone, so very very much. You are ALL Champions.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
