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.

H.O.P.E. Meals on Wheels

We launch H.O.P.E. Meals on Wheels every year to ensure we are able to provide the community with food and resources to help them through difficult times. We run H.O.P.E. Meals on Wheels every Sun, Wed & Fri from 5:30PM – 6:30PM every year.
