We are always looking for more volunteer providers! Here we have Dr. Ashby who volunteers 1 day a month for a few hours. He says it’s not a large time commitment but it has a big impact for the patients! Dr. Ashby is a dentist and we always have great need for more dentists as well as medical doctors. Please share this and reach out if you are willing to help our patients!

🦷This week is Dental Hygienist Appreciation Week!

🦷At Hope Within we are deeply grateful for our staff hygienist, Tina Nissly. Tina began working at Hope Within with the task of creating and launching the dental program. She has many wonderful stories to tell of God’s provision through that process. She continues to serve at Hope Within as both a dental assistant and a dental hygienist. She serves her patients with both great skill and great personal care. She faithfully asks patients how she can pray for them, prays with them during their visit, and continues to pray for their needs after the visit. Her love of God and desire to serve Him shine through in everything she does.

🦷We are looking for more volunteers in our dental program. If you are or know a dental hygienist, dental assistant, or dentist, please encourage them to reach out to Hope Within to find out more about volunteering with us. They can contact Darice Baird, our Dental Coordinator, at darice.baird@hopewithin.org, or by calling Hope Within at 717-367-9797. Volunteering even as little as 3 hours a month, or every other month, can make a huge difference to our patients.

It's our 3rd annual Spring Flower Sale! As the days start to get warmer, it's easy to dream about your early May landscape. We've been very happy with the quality of flowers and plants we've gotten the past few years from Layser's Nursery in Myerstown. This year, we are again offering a variety of plants, from geraniums, to calibrachoa, petunias, impatiens, Boston ferns, and even herbs! Visit https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/HopeWithinMinistries/FlowerSale2026.html or scan the QR Code below to visit the ordering page.

Pickup will be during our The Trove by Hope Within Community Health, Counseling, and Dental Center open hours in May, so it's a great time to order a few extra for Mother's Day, and maybe shop for a little extra something.

🦷🦷Today is World Oral Health Day! It is also a Dental Clinic day at the Hope Within Dental Clinic with 9 people scheduled for treatments. World Oral Health Day exists to empower people with the knowledge, tools and confidence to secure good oral health. We would like to thank our community for joining us in this work. The response of our community to our request for dental bag supplies has been wonderful! We now have toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and some mouthwash to send home with our dental patients, our medical patients, even our counseling clients. Thank you for helping us to provide the tools necessary for good oral health to our community! Your continued support of Hope Within is what allows us to continue serving. Happy World Oral Health Day!🦷🦷

Dear Friends of Hope Within,

We are excited to share an important update with you and want to thank you for your faithful support that makes the work of Hope Within Ministries possible.

After a season of prayerful discernment, the Board of Directors has appointed Diane Wolf as the new Executive Director of Hope Within Ministries.

Diane has been part of the Hope Within family for several years, serving faithfully within the clinic and developing a deep understanding of our mission. Her love for Christ, her heart for those we serve, and her commitment to sharing the hope of the Gospel have been evident in every role she has held.

Throughout the selection process, the Board was encouraged by Diane’s spiritual maturity and passion for the mission and vision of Hope Within. She brings a servant’s heart, a collaborative leadership style, and a strong desire to steward this ministry well. Diane is deeply committed to prayer, to supporting our staff and volunteers, and to strengthening the foundation that allows Hope Within to care for patients with compassion and dignity.

As Executive Director, Diane will move the ministry forward while honoring the values and mission that you have faithfully supported. She will work closely with the Board to ensure sound stewardship, operational excellence, and continued growth in our ability to serve individuals and families in our community—body, mind, and spirit.

We are sincerely thankful for your partnership with Hope Within Ministries. Your prayers, generosity, and encouragement have played a vital role in every life touched through this ministry. We invite you to join us in praying for Diane as she steps into this new role beginning Monday, March 30th, and for God’s continued guidance and provision for Hope Within.

With gratitude and hope,

The Hope Within Ministries Board of Directors

Last weekend, AnneMarie McAlester met Ashley and her son Dominic from GrimeBusters! They put together some really cute, individualized Easter baskets for one of our HW families. They also included $150.00 in grocery gift cards for this family. We will arrange for the family and Ashley to meet at Hope Within sometime before Easter so they can be given to the family in person. Thank you Ashley and Dominic for being the hands and feet of Jesus!

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” ✝️
