Our Ministries
HOPE FOR THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS
The Mission of Hope for the Hungry and Homeless program is to open our arms to those in need of a lifestyle change, and the basic necessities that we take for granted every day. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow men and women at every opportunity. Through works of charity and opening our doors to listen and love, we possess the opportunity to reach millions by extending the hand of God to feed the hungry and clothe the naked.
Our objective is to reach the homeless and sick with supplementary items to make their lives more sustainable and offer plausible solutions to help individuals become self-sufficient. We work to give hope to children and families around the world by giving them the nourishment they need to make it through another day, week or month.
It is our assignment to nourish children and families around the world by providing them with basic necessities.
The Program
Hope for the Hungry and Homeless program is an expansive outreach that collects food, clothing, toiletries and basic necessities for the homeless and less fortunate within our community.
The Outreach is planned and facilitated by a superior group of volunteers, under the leadership of the Founder and President, Dr. Norma Cole.
Many individuals and families that visit our centers of outreach have experienced the nightmare of neglect and abuse. Others are merely living to get by, but forced to look for work due to extreme poverty. Still others come from homes with parents who are physically disabled and living without the basic necessities, such as water, food and clothes.
Our impact goes far beyond the lives of the children. As a result of our compassionate outreaches, many of their parents find better working conditions, obtain education opportunities and begin to attend the local churches as a family.
