Center leadership stresses valuing individuals in this community and their desire to walk alongside all who seek to improve their situation and life. According to the Center, “The combination of a person’s own abilities and skills blended with community resources and support from the Center for Hope can bring about transformation, self-sufficiency, and a thriving Christian lifestyle.”
