Mission

Partners in Hope offers hope, support, and healing through Jesus Christ, to victims of harmful circumstances and dependencies as they reclaim the gift of their life.

Programs focus on building healing relationships with a loving God, with other people, and with oneself that nurture life and respect for all. We provide life skills training and mentoring for individuals as they pursue responsible and productive life habits.

Activities include: assistance to secure emergency help, assistance to obtain drug and alcohol treatment; support groups for spiritual guidance; one-to-one counseling in the formation and implementation of individual life plans; food co-op, residences for men and women; and assistance to develop support networks.
