Our 3rd Sunday Mission offering for June will be the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference Hope Centers
What is a Hope Center?
Hope Centers are located within communities and work with local residents to develop long term sustainable transformation.
Hope Centers:
- Create partnerships with community organizations, schools, churches, community leaders, businesses and elected officials.
- Connect and increase community resources.
- Work with under-served populations.
- Address specific needs to under gird long term change
A Hope Center collaborates with communities to build on assets to address educational, social and economic challenges. Hope Centers connect United Methodists with community residents, school, non profit organizations, businesses, town governments, and other faith groups to feed the hungry, provide high quality childcare and educational enrichment for students, build affordable housing, assist the homeless and offer job training.
