Hands of Hope is a locally chartered non-profit corporation formed to provide supportive services to homeless families with children, seeking to alleviate the conditions leading to chronic homelessness.
While our motivation is rooted in the charitable traditions of all world religions, Hands of Hope is independent of any specific religious group.
We welcome participation by all persons of good will regardless of faith affiliation.

Our mission:
- To provide supportive services to homeless school-aged children, preschool siblings and their families.
Our Program:
- Basic services for homeless children and their families, as referred primarily by local school districts
- Tutor and encourage children and parents for school readiness and educational success
- Life management skills and supportive counseling for parents
- Information and referral to other service providers, hosting other local providers for “clinic” operations at our facility
The Causes of Homelessness
- Parents’ low wages/low hours insufficient to obtain secure housing
- Sudden loss of job - all savings expended
- Medical crisis - no health care insurance
- Parents losing work over inability to remain presentable at work, or lacking opportunities for jobs because of lack of cleanliness
The Hands of Hope Resource Center is in a newly remodeled 6,000 sq. ft. building. Our current services for homeless families include:
- showers, bathrooms & laundry facilities
- information & referral services
- after school tutoring
- compassionate partnering to homeless families
- Coordination of winter shelter resources and other ancillary services will be added as population needs are determined and resources allow.
