Who We Are

Our Mission Statement

Star of Hope is a Christ-centered community dedicated to meeting the needs of homeless men, women and their children. Positive life changes are encouraged through structured programs which focus on spiritual growth, education, employment, life management and recovery from substance abuse.

We are funded through public and private donations, churches, civic/community groups, corporations, grants and foundations. In addition, we are assisted by more than 7,300 volunteers.

Core Values

Excellence

In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for people. Colossians 3:23

Integrity

As surely as God is true, I am not that sort of person. My yes means yes. 2 Corinthians 1:18 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity. Psalm 26:11

Life Change

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun. 2 Corinthians 5:17

What We Do

On any given day, there are approximately 1,000 homeless men, women and children being helped at the Men’s Development Center, the Women & Family Development Center at Star of Hope’s Cornerstone Community®, and Extended Services. The key to the success of Star of Hope Mission is its comprehensive approach to addressing the diverse issues, both immediate and long term, that impact homeless individuals and families. This model of compassionate, purposeful outreach, coupled with community partners and donors, creates an environment in which lives are transformed and people are inspired to rise above poverty, set meaningful, measurable goals for independence and achieve them.
