Matt 25 is a cross-cultural, multi-denominational, community-based effort to pool resources, experiences, and energies to help those in need. At the Hope Center, our goal is to provide a neutral, easily accessible, prominent site in the community where people can access needed services. This is an excellent opportunity for volunteer involvement in Clovis. We are a 501(c)3 corporation.
The agences and ministries who are housed in this building can work together to meet an individual or family's needs. When a person walks through the door of the Hope Center, they are usually looking for one agency in particular to meet a certain need or answer some questions they may have. However, as staff talks to them, they may discover that another agency/ministry can assist them in another way. There is great synergy and a spirit of collaboration as we partner together to meet the needs of the whole person. The benefit for our tenants is they can teach each other about different resources and it helps build a great community within the building. We'd love to have you come in and pay us a visit.
