The Oliver Gospel Mission’s 3rd annual Hope-A-Thon presented by Mungo Homes was a huge success.  WIS News 10 Ben Hoover’s personal testimonies about his living undercover at Oliver Gospel for 3 days and meeting Columbia’s homeless really helped us feel the emotion of what those on the streets are going through.  He learned first hand how tough it is to be homeless and jobless.  He also learned there is hope in hard times.    An event like this is not possible without the help of our sponsors.  We would like to thank Mungo Homes for Presenting this event for the 3rd year.  Our other support sponsors included Aflac and Jim Hudson Automotive.  Jim Hudson also made a personal donation of $20,000.  In addition we would like to thank the Ray Tanner Foundation and Shealy Electric for their large donations on the day of the event. Our media team, WIS News 10, The Team sports radio 560 and 100.1 WVOC News radio was amazing in helping us get the word out.  All of our volunteers were awesome and special thanks to our food vendors for feeding everyone; McDonalds in the Vista, Edible Arrangements, Carolina Ale House and Hudson’s Smokehouse.  All monies raised will strengthen existing programs at Oliver Gospel and help with the expansion of future projects like a new Women’s Growth Center for homeless women with children.   Thank you so much to our community who is always standing with us to help those in need.

You can still donate to this event right here online or by sending in a check marked Hope-A-Thon in the memo section.
