The Hope Center provides emergency shelter, food and clothing to homeless people but it is much more than just a shelter.

The Hope Center is a multi-location, comprehensive social service agency delivering a variety of life-sustaining and life-rebuilding programs to help the homeless get off the street and stay off the street.

Email Trey Kramer if you’re interested in volunteering through 2Pres.
