Exciting New Things are Happening!
April 18, 2021
​
We're reaching future goals in pursuing the Heart of Hope Ministries Vision. We are expanding our territory and launching out deeper into serving the community!
We have taken possession of a home adjacent to our Outreach Center that has been vacant for several years! WE NEED YOUR HELP to turn this home into transitional housing, our “ Giving Hope House”!
Will you help by donating to the renovations? It’s estimated that we will need an additional $30,000 to replace the heating/air system, redo the kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and other projects. Your support in 2020 raised over $12,000.
Other exciting news is also taking place right now! A small commercial building that has been vacant for years has been donated to Heart of Hope! This property is in excellent condition and we will look at using this site as a possible business that can create a stream of income for our outreach programs in the future! This will probably be a 2022 project!
The "Giving Hope House" as it stands right now. With your help, this house will become a place where adults learn to stand on their own, and start the rest of their lives!
This is the commercial building that Heart of Hope has been given! We plan to make this a business that will generate income to help support our Outreach programs.
And a great BIG THANK YOU!
