H.O.P.E. Foundation, Inc.
Guest Resources & Essential Needs
First and foremost, we want to give God all the glory for making H.O.P.E. Foundation possible. Jesus Christ is the center of H.O.P.E Foundation. The homeless are special in God’s eyes.
He tells us to take care of them,
Matthew 25:40 tells us, “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to, you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
We are the H.O.P.E. of JESUS and need to take care of His people.
