We encourage families to serve together! For safety, we require that all children 8 to 16 years old are accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.

Hope Network is a faith-based nonprofit organization whose roots began with the desire of the congregation of Connection Point Church to help the poor and disadvantaged in their city. The organization began in 2006 – first as a volunteer led and operated program of the church, and then, upon completion of its 501(c)3 status in 2008, as an independent organization. The organization’s purpose is to reach out, meet needs, and change lives using a comprehensive approach to social service. Participation in religious services and activities is not required of the organization’s clients; rather, the organization’s leadership and staff simply desire to offer hope to those in need and to demonstrate care for their community in practical ways.

There are three characteristics of Hope Network that embody the organization’s unique approach to social service:
