OUR PROGRAMS

Harvest of Hope Food Pantry is our constantly maintained supply of non-perishable food items that we use to regularly assist those in need. These food items are almost entirely provided by local individuals, churches, businesses, schools, and civic organizations.

Martha's Closet is our clothing ministry. We receive innumerable clothing donations and then organize them and place them in our Martha's Closet store, in which those in need may shop at no charge for whatever clothing needs they and their family may have.

Jericho Road, which owes its name to a detail in Jesus’ timeless parable of the Good Samaritan, is the program in which we provide rent/utility/medication/temporary housing assistance for local residents in need. In 2023 we expect this total to exceed $100,000.

Project 9:58 is our homelessness ministry. We offer a warm-up shelter in the winter through our partnership with First Presbyterian Church and also offer assistance in locating and paying for housing. A new transitional housing component of this ministry, called HOPEhouse, opened in 2022 provides temporary rent-free living for a families in an effort to stabilize and empower families experiencing housing insecurity.

Hands of Hope is a grassroots, volunteer-led program focused on providing cost-free home maintenance and repair for elderly or disabled persons who do not possess the financial means and physical ability to perform the needed work themselves.

Table 4.12 is the name of our meal delivery program for seniors and disabled persons. Every Wednesday we deliver a hot meal and critical grocery and hygiene items to approximately 100 persons who have limited health, transportation, mobility, or financial ability.

 Bright Ideas is our summer children's program. Multiple afternoons a week, we provide food in addition to educational, spiritual, and character enrichment for 1st grade-6th grade children. As in all our programs, there is no cost to the children or their families.
