🧡 Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make our Open House & Information Session a success yesterday!

We are grateful to all the churches that came out to learn how they can partner with Harford County HOPE for the Homeless Alliance. We hope you’ll join us by hosting our Emergency Rotating Shelter, volunteering, or becoming a Community Engagement Representative (CER).

Thank you also to our partners at Harford County Government for joining us today. We deeply appreciate your continued support and all you do for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

And thank you to Wegmans for your generosity in providing our delicious brunch! Your support helped make everyone feel welcome and made the morning even more special.

Together, we can open doors, offer hope, and provide a safe, welcoming place for our unhoused neighbors. 🏠

Visit www.hchha.com for more information about hosting, volunteering, or becoming a CER.

What if every church in Harford County did one thing?

One church opens its doors.

One provides volunteers.

One helps with transportation.

One provides needed supplies.

One congregation supports what another congregation cannot provide.

No single church has to do everything.

But together, the Church can do something remarkable for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” - Matthew 25:35

Jesus' words remind us that caring for our neighbors in need isn't simply an act of generosity. It is part of the Church's calling.

Harford County Hope for the Homeless Alliance is building partnerships for the upcoming shelter season, and we'd love to talk with your church about where you might fit.

Opening Doors. Changing Lives.

Could your church help open a door this winter?

Harford County Hope for the Homeless Alliance works with local churches and community partners to provide emergency shelter and compassionate support to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

We are seeking churches willing to explore becoming Host Churches for the upcoming shelter season.

Hosting is a community effort. HCHHA works alongside participating churches with established shelter procedures, trained Community Engagement Representatives and community partnerships.

Your congregation could become part of something much larger than any one church can accomplish alone.

Want to help but aren't sure you're prepared?

That's exactly why training matters.

HCHHA is building a team of Community Engagement Representatives who can serve our shelter guests with compassion while also maintaining appropriate boundaries, consistency and safety.

Training for our CER team includes conflict management and de-escalation, CPR and First Aid, and Mental Health First Aid.

You bring the willingness to serve. We'll help prepare you for the role.

What if helping this winter only meant giving one night?

We're building a larger team of Community Engagement Representatives so the responsibility doesn't fall on the same handful of people night after night.

CERs are trained volunteers who help create a welcoming, safe, structured and compassionate environment for shelter guests. Some serve during the evening. Others provide an overnight presence.

One evening. One overnight. One person willing to show up.

Multiply that across Harford County, and we can do something extraordinary together.

You don't have to change someone's whole life to make a difference in their life.

This winter, HCHHA needs compassionate people willing to simply show up.

Our Community Engagement Representatives (CERs) help welcome shelter guests, support shelter operations, maintain a safe and respectful environment, help de-escalate concerns when needed, and provide a consistent presence during the evening and overnight.

You don't have to be an expert. Training and established procedures help prepare you to serve.

Whether you can help occasionally or more regularly, there is a place for you.

Interested in becoming a CER? Send us a message to learn more.

There is a place for you in bringing hope to Harford County. 🧡

This winter, Harford County Hope for the Homeless Alliance is bringing churches, volunteers, community partners, and neighbors together to serve people experiencing homelessness with compassion and dignity.

We are currently recruiting Community Engagement Representatives (CERs) and churches to partner with us for the upcoming shelter season.

CERs are trained volunteers who help create a safe, welcoming, and respectful shelter environment while supporting guests and shelter operations.

You don't have to do everything. You simply have to be willing to do something.

Opening Doors. Changing Lives.

Interested in serving or learning how your church can get involved? Send us a message!

We're out in the community today! 🧡

HCHHA was at the expo connecting with our community, learning more about the incredible work of our partners, building new partnerships, and meeting people who want to get involved.

It takes an entire community working together to bring hope to our neighbors experiencing homelessness, and we're grateful for every organization, church, business, and volunteer who is part of that effort.

Together we are opening doors and changing lives.
