"The ability to be in my own space is calming,” says Amanda. “Having the same midwives who've been with me throughout the entire nine months right here with me makes this transition easier."

Five years ago, Community of Hope opened our doors at The Commons at Stanton Square and joined a collaborative effort with the Horning Family Foundation and Martha’s Table to ensure a place where children and families thrive.

Holiday Cheer Campaign

Each fall, Community of Hope collects gift cards for the families and individuals who have experienced homelessness and are in our housing programs. They are handed out before the holidays and provide our clients with the choice of how to celebrate with their family during the holiday season.

We believe choice is critical to helping our clients get back on their feet. It is fundamental in every aspect of our program. Participate in the Holiday Cheer program to bring holiday cheer directly to our families!
