'Hope for the Homeless', was founded out of the benevolent ministry of Good News Church and the compassion of its members. We believe in the power of Hope to help people in their times of stress. But many who are not members of our church or of any church, some from different religions or who don't subscribe to any faith, volunteer and partner with us in giving HOPE. We exist: To bring the hope and love of Christ to the homeless in both spiritual and practical ways. If we can bring some sense of hope, some expression of love and encourage faith into the hearts of those living on our streets them we have made a difference. We hold these Values:
+ Embracing the homeless with love, acceptance and compassion.
+ Showing love in practical ways.
