Maggie's Ministry was launched in 2008 after four year old, Maggie Lynn Achuff passed away from Neuroblastoma, an awful childhood cancer monster. Maggie's courageous fight inspired Hope Community Church to rally around this family and help them be their support in whatever ways they needed. This taught us that fighting is lonely and no one should have to fight their monster alone. Maggie's Ministr
y was created to be the support of other families who have a family member who is fighting a medical "monster" and enduring medical hardship. We stand by families and look to help them in anyway that they need whether that be childcare so that parents can be at the hospital with their other sick child, helping out with household needs, visiting and talking with families, being dedicated prayer warriors, and assembling and delivering gift baskets to hopefully bring some simple joys. Two/Three times a year Maggie's Ministry holds events where people can donate items, gift cards, or financially give to these families in need. During these events volunteers assemble many baskets where they then are delivered to families who need them from our community, and families down at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who have traveled away from their community, or have no community to rally around them. We believe that we can help support these families and demonstrate the love of Jesus by loving them and spreading joy: one person, one family, and one community at a time. We're excited to see how God continues to use this ministry! For more information or questions:
