Hope House was begun in 1994 as an extension of the Samaritan House program in cooperation with Emmanuel Baptist Church of Jefferson City. It houses a used furniture and clothing ministry for people in the community, as well as for Samaritan House clients as they find permanent housing. Clothing that can not used locally is sent overseas to help others in need. Funding for this ministry is provided by gifts from churches, community organizations, fund raisers, and individuals. Without our Samaritan House friends, the doors of service would not have stayed open.
Volunteers work along side the staff and clients doing household chores and home repairs.
Some play with the kids while the parents look for housing or work. Others might lead a Bible study. Financial gifts are needed and appreciated. Here's an interesting and fun way to support S.H. as well. Register at this Igive web site and money will be sent to S. H. Additional gifts can also be made if you decide to buy items through the Igive site.
