• Prominent charity dropping "Jesus" from name

For nearly a quarter century Jesus House of Hope has provided food, clothes, and money for needy families in Martin County, helping more than 6,000 families a year."It was founded by a group of people from different churches, but they all believed they were guided by Matthew’s gospel to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked," says Patrick Slattery, the charity's executive director.
