Meet Terry S Derstine, the founder and chair of Sweatshirt of Hope, a non-profit ministry in Souderton, PA. Terry’s #1 passion is to help and share the message of HOPE we have in Jesus with those feeling helpless, hopeless, and homeless. Our goal is “Linking Hope 4 Life” by collaborating with non-profit organizations, law enforcement, churches, and the business community.

The vision of Sweatshirt of Hope is to “Love Your Neighbors” and share God’s love with everyone! Scripture is clear and commands us to GO, GIVE BACK, and SERVE in the name of Jesus! Matthew 25:40 says, "Truly, I say to you, as you did to the one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."

Terry S Derstine is more than just the founder and chair of Sweatshirt of Hope; he is a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who will celebrate 56 years of marriage in Au- gust. They have 2 children, 4 granddaughters, and 2 great-granddaughters.
