Throughout our history, Restore Hope has relied on the support of volunteers and donors to fulfill its mission.
From building our facility to helping clients every day, thousands of volunteers have helped us help families in need. And, as food prices and average rental rates increases, the cost of our assistance also goes up. That’s where your help can make a difference. We need your help to reach out to hurting families in our area. Your assistance may be just the thing that helps a family break the cycle of poverty and move toward vitality.
There a number of ways to get involved at Restore Hope. We hope you’ll join us in making a difference soon!

We aim to provide helpful resources to understand poverty and ways to break the cycle of poverty. To learn more, check in regularly as we add resources on poverty in general and on the local church response to poverty specifically.
