Hands of Hope
Resources for Homeless Families
Guest Advocate Committee
Our Guest Advocate volunteers help our guests with special needs not provided by our day program. Often times these requests are for help with paper work; job resumes, applications for jobs, social security issues, accompanying them to court dates, doctor visits, talking them through personal issues, referring them to Bridges to Housing for rental help.
At times, we help guests procure vital documents; birth certificates, ID’s, drivers licenses.
Frequently, the requests are for help with fuel and propane, bike tires and tubes, tools, work boots for a job, special needs for infants and children that cannot be purchased with food stamps, etc. etc.
These purchases do not come from the general Hands of Hope budget, but from monetary donations. We also help our guests with life skills to teach them to make better choices to end the cycle of dependency.
If you wish to support the Guest Advocate budget please, note, on the memo line of your check, "Guest Advocate".
If you wish more information about our program and how you can help, please call us Tuesday-Thursday 11:00-5:00.
Thank you,
Barbara Paterson
Guest Advocate Chair
