Who We Are

Center of Hope is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to helping others break the cycle of poverty in Parker County.

We have location in Weatherford and Aledo. At the first visit, we don’t require a lot of paperwork. If someone is hungry enough to ask for help, we give them food.

When families come to Center of Hope, they receive short-term crisis assistance after an interview process. During the interview, we identify their income and expenses and develop a Plan of Action with them.

Some clients are unable to be self-sufficient, like the elderly and disabled. Others need help with follow through to get back on their feet.

We strive be a relational ministry where everyone is encouraged to discover their talents and abilities and find God’s purpose for their life.

Short-term help includes:

* Groceries distributed through the Food Pantry to over 400 families every month

* Limited financial assistance for utilities and prescriptions

* Daily meals prepared and served restaurant-style by churches, civic organizations and businesses on a rotational basis. Over 900 meals are served each month to all clients.

* Weekly employment listings

* We openly share the Gospel with our neighbors, but in a gentle way. We never refuse services based on religious beliefs.





This organization provides Temporary or Permanent Service? Temporary

Notes:

We encourage all our clients to work towards their own financial solution and not continue on long-term assistance. Through faith, education and mentoring, we offer solutions for clients to become self-sufficient. Education opportunities offered to our neighbors in need are:

* Jobs for Life™ Program – helping those who are unemployed, under-employed or hard to employ

* Camp Hope Program – summer outreach in community neighborhoods to reach children in low-income areas with groceries, life skills, and mentoring

* Computer classes – introductory principals and Microsoft programs (Word, Excel, Power Point) and QuickBooks. We also partner with Weatherford College to offer computer courses on-site at the Weatherford location

* Adult Basic Education classes – helping with reading, comprehension and basic math and the East Parker County location

* Financial Management classes – learning basic principles and developing a personal budget

* Parenting classes offered through a partnership with ACH

Additional services:

* Drug / Alcohol counseling through a certified counselor

* Referrals to local resources to provide supplementary solutions

* Career key – matching skills and interests with career possibilities
