Bob and Lorraine Melcher have been connected with Hope Community since our beginning in 1977. For over 3 decades Bob and Lorraine have continued to support the work of Hope. In 2009 they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. As a tribute to this special event, each of their children made a gift to Hope Community. It was a great honor for us to be part of this wonderful celebration.
