How the Hope Center WorkS

The Hope Center operates across two dedicated levels, each designed to address critical needs within our community.

The Resource Center provides free clothing, shoes, and essential accessories to individuals and families in need. To ensure resources are stewarded wisely and that care is personal and effective, access to the Resource Center is granted through a referral and approval process.

Rather than a walk-in model, referrals allow our team to understand each family’s unique situation and provide support in a respectful and organized way.

All Resource Center visits take place through an approved referral.
