It is a refuge where mothers with young children can escape homelessness, domestic violence, drug abuse, and moral decay. It's a home where children can regain healthy mothers and a loving family structure, where the foundation for their adult lives can be laid with the Biblical principles of love, respect, and responsibility. Lives cannot be transformed to this degree through an overnight shelter, and the House of Hope is far from just a shelter. Through an extremely comprehensive goal oriented program, the women gain the skills and training they need to become fully self sufficient within 18 months. This includes training for GED certification, parenting and life skills, computers, financial planning and management, interviewing and job search skills.
Some volunteers help clean up and plan for next month's meal.
