Day 1387 - The Next Chapter
Today we celebrate the goodness that only God can bring from a trip to the grocery store.

Maximizing Hope has helped move 120 people from living outside to into stable, sustainable homes.

120 people now have the dignity of their own bathroom to toilet and shower as often as they like.

240 eyes now see a front door that they can lock for safety, a thermostat to regulate their comfort, and a stove to cook their own meals.

1,200 fingers now feel the softness of their mattress and blanket when they close their eyes.

120 minds are able to truly rest with safe sleep.

120 lives changed forever.

Countless lives impacted by our clients, our volunteers, and our mission.

Today we celebrate
- the thousands of nights of hotels provided,
- the 6,978 loads of laundry,
- the 100s of people who now have benefits,
- the tends of thousands of meals served,
- the countless hugs given,
- and most importantly, the safe community we created for our unhoused neighbors.

Friends, it is with considerable gratitude that we announce the closing of Maximizing Hope.

Our privately funded, 100% volunteer run non-profit has done great work since its inception because of you. The contributions of your time, talents, and treasures made THIS possible.

As a supporter, we ask that you direct your future donations, social media attention, and volunteer hours to The Charlie Center in support of their mission.

Our clients are being referred to The Charlie Center for continued case management services and Maximizing Hope assets will be transferred there as well.
