Artist Statement
The HOPE Center was founded in 1984, with the Mission of Helping Our People in Emergencies. I equate this to a form of Fulfillment—A feeling of happiness because you are doing what you intended to do in life.
The design of this mural is intended to be a graphic representation of the history of the HOPE Center and its Mission.
The HOPE Center was organized in April 1984, after 15 churches came together to form an interdenominational council of churches called the Edmond Ministerial Alliance. This is represented in the mural by the 15 small circles focusing toward the large center circle.
Shortly after the Edmond Ministerial Alliance was formed, a grant was received from the Edmond Women’s Club. The Edmond Women’s Club is represented by the two female figures to the right of the center circle. The women are tending to seedlings and nurturing a sapling. This is representative of the basic needs and support provided by the HOPE Center to community members in a time of need. Helping others builds a strong, productive community (the forest).
Shopping Small Supports

Donations are delivered to the HOPE Center of Edmond at 1251 N Broadway. Volunteers and staff members sort donations and stock the warehouse clothing room with items for clients.
However, some items like draperies, formal gowns, dry-clean only clothing, and large household goods that cannot be used directly for clients are sold at HOPEfully Yours.
All store proceeds are utilized to fund HOPE Center Health Clinic, and to purchase the fresh milk, meat, and produce included in food packages for families.
