Indianapolis, IN, July 19, 2013:

The proclamation from Gov. Mike Pence,

“Whereas, FAITH HOPE AND LOVE is a week-long period of volunteerism in our communities, starting with a celebration for this annual event;

Whereas, the vision is to mobilize out communities through active participation in improving neighborhoods and through facilitating meaningful service projects by helping those in needs;

Whereas, this event brings community members together in loving service and seeks to break down manmade walls between churches, races, social status, government and education to unite people to help our neighbors in need;

Whereas, Faith Hope and Love is about people participating in a joint effort to bridge the social, economic and spiritual gaps in our community;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Michael R. Pence, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby proclaim July 21-28, 2013 as

Faith Hope and Love Week

In the State of Indiana, and urge all citizens to duly note this occasion.”

Faith, Hope, and Love, International, Inc. will be mobilizing hundreds of volunteers during the 9^th Annual FHL Week. There are various projects and services that are planned all throughout the week such as home renovation, neighborhood clean ups, visiting nursing homes, food collections and many more.

Last Saturday, a project to help someone in need financially resulted in Project Fundraising in the Geist area. “Oh my! I’ve seen God come through and I’m still in awe”, exclaimed Sandy Hieser, a Project Manager for the home renovation. Although the official start of FHL Week is on Sunday, July 21 3p, a local grading/excavation company already pulled overgrown bushes and flattened the yard earlier part of this week. Tomorrow, July 20^th, a church in Martindale-Brightwood area will be visiting homes for their Re-connection Project.
