It is finished!

The home in Baring is finished! What a whirlwind of a build. It doesn’t seem possible that a home could be built in 9 days, but with God, all things are possible. Tonight at 5:30, we dedicated the fully funded home. Just an hour prior to our scheduled dedication, the final funds needed were received. Each year we’re blown away by how God works. If you’d like to see the video of the dedication, it’s available to watch on the ONE FAMILY ONE PURPOSE Facebook page. Here are some photos of the finished product. Thank you all for your prayerful support, and most of all, thank you Jesus!

Auction Drop Off spot

We are excited about having a new drop-off sight for auction items prior to the big day, Saturday November 18th. You can drop off your items at Berlett Auto Works, located at 315 State Highway 94 on the Northwest side of LaHarpe. Seth and April Berlett have generously offered their assistance with the collected items. Remember, new items only, with the exception of antique items. We appreciate your support!

Big Day November 18th!

November 18th is a BIG day for ONE FAMILY ONE PURPOSE! To start the day, our 13th annual OFOP Lunch and Auction will be held at the Annex in LaHarpe. The HOPE group will be serving a free-will soup luncheon beginning at 11am. The live auction will then begin at 1pm. There will NOT be an online option this year, so be sure to join us in person at the Annex for some great items!

Later that evening, our brothers and sisters from Stronghurst are holding a chicken and noodle dinner to benefit OFOP! This will be held at the Stronghurst United Methodist Church from 4:30-7.

These two events are a great way to support a family in need in Baring, MO. Thank you for your continued support!

Baring, MO 2023

We can officially announce that our 2023 Disaster relief home build will be in Baring, Missouri. Baring was devastated by an EF-2 tornado on August 4th, 2023. After multiple trips to Baring, representatives of OFOP have now committed the organization’s resources to build a home for Tresha, a homeowner who lost everything in the storm. We are excited to see what God has in store for this family in need. More details are to come about addresses, volunteer housing, etc. For now, we can confirm that the need for volunteers in Baring will begin November 27th, and last until the home is finished sometime between December 5th and 8th.

See you in Baring!!!

Brisket & Fish Fry!

Summer is winding down, and that means our disaster relief fundraising season is upon us! George Link and our brothers and sisters from the Burnside Christian Church will be holding their annual Brisket and Fish fry meal Saturday, September 30th, beginning at 6pm. This is always a great event to catch up with other OFOP volunteers and supporters as we prepare for what’s to come this winter.

We look forward to seeing you in Burnside for dinner and fellowship!
