The Center of Hope is a place for those struggling with difficult life issues. People can come, be listened to, encouraged, and refreshed.

Our programs include our Geared-To-Empower Bike Ministry, Free Evening Clinic for the uninsured, Pastoral Counseling Ministry, Sharing Christmas, Clothing Ministry (seasonal clothing and winter gear), Earn-Your-Way program, Bible Studies, Prison Transition Aid, Hygiene Item Assistance, and more! Clothing is either free or at highly subsidized prices, depending on our guests’ situations. The bicycles start at $5 and go up from there. Each is priced by the condition and the brand name.

The pricing system allows recipients to have a sense of dignity and choice in the bicycle they receive. There is also a bike shop where owners of bikes are able to work on their bike and receive free or low cost parts while learning bicycle mechanics alongside a trained professional.

For more information on each program, please see our website: https:\\www.centerofhopesf.org. Check us out on Facebook and/or Twitter.

(ERFPN.com)

• Activity reimbursement scholarships
• Camp reimbursement scholarships
• Clothing
• Personal hygiene items
• Beds
• Dressers

While continuing to provide these on-going services, the Network has identified some important and unmet needs. As the number of children in foster care continues to climb, we believe this trend can be reversed. By identifying barriers to success, we believe we can take a preventative approach to ending the generational cycle of abuse and neglect among families in our community.
