Matching Gift Challenge!

Haley Schultz • March 11, 2019

Disaster Preparedness

We are so grateful to have a generous donor offer a matching gift challenge of $50,000 for our Global Disaster Preparedness campaign! Once matched, this means a total of $100,000 raised will help us to have essential resources on hand and ready for distribution. What a great way to double your impact!

Every minute counts in a disaster and preparedness saves time, money and lives.

Extreme weather has become more frequent which calls us to be better prepared, more informed and alert to respond. Otherwise the threat of hunger, sickness, displacement and injury is multiplied. In 2018, HOPE worldwide volunteers responded to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, tsunamis and wildfires around the world. At a time when people are displaced, disheartened and oftentimes desperate, we are there to provide shelter, clean water filters, medicines and more. This year we want to become even more effective by expanding our ability to be proactive in our disaster preparedness planning and strategic thinking.

Please consider giving a gift today!Your donation is multiplied by this matching gift opportunity and will help stock our trailer with double the emergency food rations, blankets, water filters and other supplies. Donate today and prepare the way!

At HOPE worldwide we mobilize volunteers and supplies to help families recover. Because in time of crisis we should never feel alone.

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

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.
