You can make a difference. We make it easy.

When you Give HOPE, you mean the world to people like, Susan, who just a year ago felt that her world was falling apart. Susan came to the shelter with little hope, and a life that experienced more tragedy than the average person. She had recently buried her adult child, the victim of an overdose. Susan worked hard but was never able to escape the tentacles of poverty. Today, Susan has a modest apartment, friends and works at HOPE as a Peer Advocate, helping new guests adjust to shelter life and providing them with encouragement to believe that life change is possible.

Together, we can Give HOPE to individuals working their way home with: 
    * Safe shelter to regroup from their personal crisis
    * Nutritious meals to feed body and soul
    * Seasonally appropriate clothing, so no one has to endure winter in duct taped boots with no socks
    * Professionally trained, trauma informed staff, who help guests connect with the resources to find home
    * Move out kits and furniture sources to turn a bare apartment into a home
    * Connection to primary healthcare, pharmacy, behavioral health services and to in-house medical triage clinics
    * Post housing support to ease with the transition to independent living
 
When you Give HOPE, the impact is GREATER than a place to sleep and meals:
    * You change lives when you believe in the worth of an individual who stays in the shelter
    * You change lives when you invest in a better future that begins at the shelter door.
    * You change lives with the gift of dignity that a guest finds when they move to a home of their own
