Downtown Hope Center

Our non-profit organization provides a hand up and out of homelessness. We offer clothing, food, shelter, and showers to our guests as a way of meeting their current needs. Through these services it is our hope that our guests would enroll in our Feed Me Hope Bakery and Culinary Job Training Program that has had over 180 graduates and has maintained over a 90% Job Placement Rate two years in a row. Volunteers help prepare and serve over 500 lunches every day, seven days a week. We provide laundered clothing and showers to men and women every morning who may also use our address to receive mail. Our Emergency Women’s Shelter is a safe place available to approximately 70 women everyday and night. The women in our shelter receive three meals a day and dinner is prepared by our Culinary Students. Our Feed Me Hope Food Truck sells baked goods produced by our Bakery Students. In addition to our Feed Me Hope Program, we offer transformational housing to our students and women transitioning out of our shelter into the workplace. We have discovered through countless testimony that other low-income housing programs have the potential to place men and women next to their former abusers, drug dealers and sex traffickers. Our Transformational Housing Facility, Suite Hope, puts an end to the cycle of recovery > housing > relapse and instead offers a safe place to heal where individuals can then find safe permanent housing and maintain employment.

When you donate to the Downtown Hope Center (DHC) through Pick.Click.Give. you will help provide 161,000 meals annually, 600 showers monthly, 800 loads of laundry monthly, help shelter 70 women every night, and help in the employment of Feed Me Hope program graduates, which continues to hold a 90% Job Placement rate.
