Neighbors of Hope strives to practice biblical hospitality by emulating the radical compassion of Jesus Christ in all that it does. Christ’s compassion is not mere pity—it’s about giving people hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The hope of Christ is life-giving, denouncing injustices while announcing justice for the oppressed and afflicted.
Neighbors of Hope does just that. We denounce unjust realities in our community, including hunger, homelessness, and addiction, and respond by announcing hope through programs that feed the hungry, give shelter the homeless, and help the addicted recover and thrive. We are Neighbors of Hope in a truly biblical way, loving our neighbors with the compassion of Christ. We invite you to get involved and become a Neighbor of Hope yourself.
