Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
About Sharing Love & Hope
Sharing Love and Hope began in January 2022 with a simple act of kindness. Founded by Keith and Lois, our mission grew from honoring Lois’s sister, Shar, whose life was defined by generosity and love. What started as sewing donations for local infusion centers has since expanded into a community outreach serving individuals and families in need. Today, from our space in Alexandria, we continue to share compassion, dignity, and hope across our communities.
Who We Serve
We serve veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, children, and families in need. Through compassion, care, and community, we strive to meet people where they are and offer support that restores dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging.
