Salvation Army Hope House program manager
guest speaker at Nov. 21 MNC luncheon
Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson, program director of the Salvation Army’s Northeast Florida Hope House, will be guest speaker at the Men’s Newcomers Club luncheon Thursday, Nov.21, 11:30 a.m., at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club on Bill Melton Road.
Richard has been with the Hope House since April 2023 and became program director last December. He was originally social services/volunteer coordinator bringing his extensive experience in program management, contact center operations, volunteer coordination, and team development to the job.
With a passion for service, Richard is dedicated to fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army: meeting human needs without discrimination. His leadership is focused on making a meaningful impact in the community through compassion and service.
The Hope House is the northeast Florida post of the Salvation Army, providing emergency services for those in need, especially homeless. It depends on local donations (money, food, and clothing) and volunteers.
There will be a social half-hour beginning at 11:30 a.m. followed by a buffet luncheon at noon. Our luncheons are open to members who may also register one male guest, and to non-member men who are considering joining the club.
The Club expects all attendees to be fully vaccinated from COVID 19.
To register for the meeting, click on the register box nearby. The Club has a capacity of 120 for lunch. Once registrations have reached that limit, a waiting list will be maintained.
