Has it already been a year? This #throwbackthursday, we remember last year's Open House of the H.S. Lopez Family Foundation Center of Opportunity.

Please join us in prayer this evening. We'll be meeting at both of our campuses for worship and prayer—to go before the Lord to lift-up our GRM family, our community, and our nation. Wherever you are between 6:00 and 8:00, please join us in spirit and pray for peace, unity, and healing for our community and country. Thank you.

We continue to stand in the middle of this crisis with deep faith and courage to take care of those who are vulnerable. We’ve begun intakes again, but on a limited, first-come, first-served basis, with extra precautions, and as always, love and hope.

Here is an update on our protocols:

- Intake procedures begin in the new Welcome Center and include showers, a hygiene kit, new clothes to be worn while guest clothing is washed, and a mask to put on before entering.

- We’re conducting regular and frequent disinfecting of high-touch areas (including doorknobs, surfaces, and countertops) at all locations.

- Hand sanitizer is available throughout our centers.

- Disinfecting wipes are available.

- We’re reinforcing illness prevention procedures as recommended by the medical community, including frequent handwashing, avoiding touching one’s face, and avoiding close contact with people who are sick.

- We’re instructing volunteers and employees who exhibit symptoms of illness to stay home and, when necessary, to seek professional medical care.

- We’re encouraging our elderly volunteers and those at higher risk to stay home.

- Tours of our centers will tentatively resume in June.

- We’re taking the temperatures of all guests upon entry. Those who have a fever will be given a mask and assigned to a room set aside for isolation.

- All donations are being accepted. Pick-ups will tentatively resume in July.

We are all on the front lines, and this is a tremendous opportunity to display God’s peace, provision, protection, and healing to all. Thank you for understanding, prayers, and support, and remember that “Perfect love casts out all fear” (1 John 4:18).
