DAILY OPERATIONS

Each week, around 180 volunteers rotate shifts and assist staff to keep HOPE’s operations running smoothly. They are members of churches, Scout groups, university clubs, and social and service clubs, as well as high school students, college students, stay-at-home-parents, and retirees.

39 YEARS OF SERVING OUR COMMUNITY

The uncertainty of life is the major factor necessitating the need for an agency like HOPE Center. Most people live and make do as long as nothing extraordinary happens to them. However, for most of us, it only takes one unexpected expense or situation out of our control to disrupt our lives. The harsh reality of a hungry child or an eviction notice or utility cut-off can cause panic or hopelessness for anyone.

Most of the individuals we serve are people who work hard to provide for themselves and their families, but find themselves in desperate situations. We strive to treat each client of our agency with respect and kindness and help them resolve their emergencies.

The longevity and success of the HOPE Center are a direct result of conservative management, judicious planning, and a serious commitment to accountability. Each contribution and donation is used carefully to provide the greatest benefit for clients. Keeping administrative overhead as low as possible is another way the agency maximizes its resources. This ongoing dedication to fiscal responsibility has enabled HOPE Center to continue to provide quality services to clients for over 35 years.
