New Life SDA Philadelphia

Hope with the Hoytes was started by members and married couple, Roshann & Barbara Hoyte. The ministry, though started by them has grown into a church-wide activity. 

Hope with the Hoytes is a Community Service ministry at New Life that pays particular attention to feeding the Less Fortunate within the city of Philadelphia. Along with food, there is a desire to feed those same people with God's love and hope. During the winter months one can expect Hope with the Hoytes to go out with warm clothing and hygiene essentials. Year Round, Hope with the Hoytes makes sure to give out literature and supportive resources to those in need. 

Want to Volunteer?

We spend time in the kitchen with fellowship while we pray over and pack a healthy meal to feed the less fortunate. We spend about 2 hours packing and rallying the volunteers into respective cars.

We do not have a van as of yet (pray for us) but we do what we can with what we have. God is in control. 

To volunteer, please come to New Life on the given dates and ask for Roshann or Barbara Hoyte.

Please see the upcoming dates to the right. If you would love to volunteer with us!

Is there an area in Philadelphia that you want to have Hope with the Hoytes reach out to?

We are always looking for places where many less fortunate people congregate. We must meet the people where they are. If you have any suggestions, we welcome them.
