(Founders remove themselves from any association with Cup of Hope.)

Yes. Goodbye.

Over 4 years ago Valerie and I prayed about moving from Texas to Las Vegas to help start a ministry. The answer was obvious, GO. So we did. The ministry we thought we were moving to Las Vegas to help, failed…miserably. It turns out though, the ministry we were sent here to start, Cup of Hope, began.

In August of 2020 after months of struggle and prayer we went to our family and borrowed the funds to become a 501c3 and the ministry of Cup of Hope truly began. Thanks to those funds and the continued financial support and amazing volunteers, Cup of Hope was there for families and individuals nearly 50,000 times. From meals on the streets to homebound meal delivery to addiction help to rental assistance to housing for folks on the streets to tons and tons of free groceries delivered, Cup of Hope answered the call. All with one simple question, “How can we help?” No forms were required. No interviews. No anything, just what is your need and how can we help?

That question is based on the simple mission of Cup of Hope at the time which can be found in John 13:34, “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.”

And that brings us to the goodbye. Over the last few months, particularly after my dad’s passing, Valerie and I felt called back to Texas. A calling that was just as strong as the one that led us to Las Vegas. The plan was for the current lead volunteers in Las Vegas to run Cup of Hope in Las Vegas, just like the lead in Colorado runs Cup of Hope Colorado Springs and possibly the same for Cup of Hope in Virginia as well. I was going to remain on the Cup of Hope board of directors to offer experience, mentorship and contacts for each location as well possibly launch Cup of Hope in Texas. (FINALLY!!!)

Unfortunately, that will not be possible. Due to (possible)votes, (possible)plans and actions by the controlling Cup of Hope board members, we cannot in good conscience be associated with Cup of Hope any longer. In fact, after prayers, the calling was loud and clear to both of us, LEAVE NOW.

As hard as it is to leave, we leave knowing that Cup of Hope was never really our ministry. It was God’s. Prayer and faith is what lead to so many being served, at best we were just stewards. Thank you to each of you for all of your prayers and support. Valerie and I walk away humbled and grateful for all yall have done for so many.

We’d ask the following, whatever happens with the outreach, no matter its name, please don’t associate it with either of us. The board of directors are now running the show. As well, if you hear things about us we'd ask that first ask yourself does that make sense please reach out we'd be happy to talk! While we won’t be able to discuss some specific things in detail, we will do our absolute best to answer any questions you may have. Please email us at [email protected].

Love yall, be safe!
Keith and Valerie Johnson.

Today, was another joyous celebration at the park. We celebrated July birthdays and bid fond farewells to Keith and Valerie as they embark on a new adventure. Please keep them in your prayers along with all the friends we serve and our volunteers.

Saturdays at Lorenzi Park are always special! Today, was more than a picnic, we had the joy of celebrating a birthday of one of our regular friends. What a fun day coming together and everyone singing happy birthday and enjoying cake 🎂

Due to my dad’s passing I’d been off the streets for over a month. That’s the longest stretch in 4 years. During that time I had peace because I knew Cup of Hope’s amazing volunteers wouldn’t let our friends down. And they didn’t. Every event happened without a hitch and when I finally made it back yesterday those volunteers let me spend time with so many of my friends. 121 came out yesterday and it was magical. I can’t thank our volunteers and supporters enough for continuing to be there when I couldn’t.

Keith.

Today Cup of Hope lost one of its biggest and quietest supporters. Long before Cup of Hope, there was just myself and Valerie slinging cold water and snacks on the streets. From those early crazy days Jerry was there not only offering mental and emotional support but financial support as well. He never wanted his picture posted or even his name mentioned, but he was always someone we could call when help was needed.

I can’t tell you how much money he sent so we could keep going, stay on the streets, go love on people. He never questioned what we did or how we did it, he’s the original “just go love on them” guy. Because of him and his support over 30,000 lives have been touched. He leaves an incredible legacy… one that he didn’t want anyone to know about.

Regardless of his donations, Dad was the secret driving force in EVERY THING Cup of Hope does and did. Our friends lost a great man that most never had a chance to meet or thank. Valerie and I lost a hero. He’ll be greatly missed.

We love surprise deliveries at Cup of Hope. No idea who sent this box but we are grateful!

Low to mid 90s today for lunch at G Street which is fitting seeing that’s how many of our friends came out. For those that don’t know, there’s zero shade at G Street. Our friends wait, sometimes for up to an hour, to get a meal and a cold drink. Even through all that all we here are thank you or I appreciate you being here. Which is beyond humbling. All we try to do is be there, is to love on folks. If you haven’t experienced G Street on a Monday or a Wednesday… well you’re missing out… We promise you will leave changed.

A huge special shout-out to Paul and Cole today for the roadside repairs on Hope II ! We are so grateful!!

We joined our friends in celebrating Memorial Day a few days early by doing what lots of other folks are doing this weekend. Having a picnic and eating hamburgers with all the trimmings, homemade coleslaw, cold sodas, watermelon and more. At last count it was 80 + double/triple hamburgers. What made this day even more special was when one of our regulars came up, hugged me and said she was leaving to go stay with family in Mew Mexico. As she hugged she just kept saying thank you for us always being there. That for the longest time she looked forward each week to Saturdays and seeing us.

It was an extremely humbling moment. Because see, all we do is show up. All our volunteers do is love on folks. We are going to miss our friend but our sadness is nothing compared to the joy in our hearts for her and her family. Friendships like this are formed simply by being there. Simply by showing up. Lorenzi Park is a special place.

Over 30,000 meals served in less than 3 years. Not bad for an outreach whose only goal is to let folks know they are loved. 30,000 plus times someone from Cup of Hope has had the chance to let someone know that no matter what, they are cared about, they are loved and that regardless of what's going on someone will be there for them. Face to face, in person, eye to eye.

Zero paid employees. 100% volunteer driven. Just a group of people that said yes when God asked them to go. Cup of Hope isn't government funded. We are blessed to partner with churches and mosques of all flavors. Our supporters, donors and sponsors are all amazing and 30,000 couldn't have been reached without them. Without you. Without Him guiding our steps.

Valerie and I are incredibly blessed to play a small part in all of this. Our prayers of gratitude are never ending.

It was a BUSY day at Lorenzi Park yesterday. Lots of folks of all ages came out to love on and support each other. Helen, our lead at Lorenzi, brought a crew from The Crossing Church and Darla from CCLV Church Las Vegas brought chocolate roses for all the moms.

If you haven’t been to Lornzi yet you should. It’s NOT an outreach. It’s a picnic. And it’s an amazing one at that.

We have so many folks that love and support the folks we serve. Like today, FedEX pulled up and dropped a box. Kinda weird because we hadn’t ordered anything.

Turns out it was a case of razors. (500) Nothing saying who sent them, no way to know who was thinking of our family on the streets. Just a box of supplies, love and care.

It’s acts of kindness like this that keep Cup of Hope going and these razors will hit the streets tomorrow at Lornenzi Park. So if the person/family that sent these sees this, thank you!

05/11/2023

After a brief few days off Valerie and I rejoined our family and crew of volunteers at G Street this morning. (We’ve actually been back out since Monday.) It was great to be surrounded by so much love but heartbreaking to again see so many hurting.

A city with so much yet it tends to do so little for our friends. Cup of Hope though is committed to being there as always to share love, compassion and friendship.
