About Mission Hope Central
Hope Central exists to bring hope to individuals facing the day-to-day challenges of poverty.
In connection with New Heights Church, Hope Central has been providing meals and support for vulnerable adults and families for many years and continues to expand its programs for even greater impact.
The primary focus of Hope Central is to build relationships with those in Mission who find themselves struggling with poverty or the feeling of being disenfranchised. We provide relief to meet short term needs but are expanding our programs to include longer term personal development.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 to walk and fundraise in this year's Coldest Night of the Year! Funds raised will help buy food, relief supplies, staffing, education, training, programs, and funds to start pilot projects.
From all the clients who rely on Hope Central, the volunteers and community partners who are passionate about serving, and from myself who coordinates this work, thank-you for believing in what we do!
