Hope Restored Recovery Home

We just wanted to make a post recognizing our amazing Sponsors for our Cook-Off Fundraiser last weekend. We couldn't do what we do without the support of our local churches and businesses. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Congratulations to Dan Estes for winning our Fourth Annual Cook-Off with his delicious brisket tacos!

Last night was a huge success and we’d like to thank every person who cooked, donated, or attended to make this fundraiser happen. Because of you we were able to raise approximately $6400 which will go toward operational expenses for the house. Grateful is an understatement!

2 weeks to go until the 2026 Annual Cook-Off!

The Cook-Off is one of our two big fundraisers each year. Proceeds go toward operational expenses for Hope Restored, ensuring we can continue to provide recovery housing and support for men who need it.

We cannot continue our work in Starke County without your support.

Be sure to grab your tickets before seats sell out!
