Hope Center - Rapid City

12/31/2025

We give thanks to all the people over the past 15 years who have supported the Hope Center! As we permanently dissolve our organization we are grateful to share our remaining resources with four other non-profit organizations that are doing amazing work in our community.
When the board discussed where our funds should go basic needs of food, housing, medical care and basic supplies were the things we kept coming back to. So we have chosen to gift our remaining funds to the following organizations:
Trinity Lutheran Church to support their food pantry
Open Heart UMC to support their food pantry
Midwest Street Medicine to support their work in Rapid City
Passages to support all the work they do
We encourage you to learn more about these organizations and support the services they provide to those who need it most.
God's blessings to each of you in the coming year!

Dear friends,
As you know, since December of 2023 we have been without a building. In the past two years we have continued to meet for weekly devotions every Wednesday and done our best to stay connected with our former guests and new friends. The Board of Directors has been keeping a pulse on the services being offered by other local ministries and groups with hopes of finding a way to reopen our center in a new location. Unfortunately, we have been unable to make that hope a reality and the Board has made the difficult decision to dissolve our organization and permanently close the Hope Center.
Since 2010 the Hope Center’s mission has been to put God’s love into action by enhancing dignity and hope as we build bridges out of poverty. While we wish we could continue to do this in an official capacity we know that we have completed the mission God set before us and it’s time to pass the torch to others He has called on to do this work. We have chosen to donate all our remaining funds to four local organizations that we believe align with our mission and are doing amazing work in our community. We will be highlighting those organizations in a future post. We will continue to meet for weekly devotions on Wednesdays from 8-9am at Trinity Lutheran for those who want to stay connected.
We thank you for your support over the years through your donations, volunteer hours, prayers and so much more. We know that the heart of the Hope Center lives on through all of you and the kindness and compassion you show your fellow humans. God’s blessings to you all.
-The Hope Center Board of Directors
