OUR HISTORY

Operation Hope was formed in 1985 when local residents became aware of individuals in the community unable to meet their own basic needs of food and shelter. Clergy and lay leaders worked together to provide food and emergency shelter.

AT A GLANCE

Operation Hope aims to end hunger and homelessness for our neighbors in need. We believe that everyone deserves supportive relationships, hope for the future and a place to call home.
