Outreach
New Hope is proud of its vibrant mission of outreach which serves both our local community and those in need throughout the world.
The fourth Saturday of every month finds many New Hope members serving breakfast at the day resource center for the homeless in Howard County. If you are able to help out, please sign up at Sign Up Genius. New Hope also provides supplies for the center and its food pantry. The Day Center provides a hot meal, shower facilities, laundry, food and clothing pantries, health care and social services 3 days a week for 4 hours a day.
