Faith, Hope & Love supports children in crisis. Our goal is to expand Faith, Hope & Love and our Duffels for Kids, BlastPacks, and New Beginnings program.

Our mission is to build Faith, Hope, & Love in children who have been abused, abandoned, and neglected; through Duffels for Kids, BlastPacks, and New Beginnings bags.

Duffels for Kids provides emergency duffel bags filled with personal care and comfort items for children displaced from their home due to abuse, neglect, or a tragedy.

BlastPacks provides items to occupy the 45 minutes to an hour, children wait to visit their parents who are incarcerated. This allows them time to have a positive interaction with officers and see them as helpful, friendly, and safe.

New Beginnings bags provide necessities for a child recovered from human trafficking. Many times, when a child is either displaced from their home or recovered from human trafficking; they come with very little belongings besides the clothes on their backs. If they have a few items, they are typically transported in a trash bag. What ever these children have left of their self-worth should not be carried in a garbage bag; they deserve better!

Racine Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Racine Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

Racine Habitat for Humanity has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

Founded in Americus, Georgia, USA, in 1976, Habitat for Humanity today operates around the globe and has helped build, renovate and repair more than 600,000 decent, affordable houses sheltering more than 3 million people worldwide.

HOPES Center recognizes the worth and dignity of each person and helps people move out of homelessness through:

Street Outreach:  Street outreach teams go out at night to locate, engage with, and assist people who are living in places not meant for human habitation, such as parks, benches, sidewalks, woods, vehicles, abandoned buildings and other locations. The goal is to help people move from the streets into shelter and housing.

Mental Health:  The PATH program (Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness) helps people who are homeless (or at risk of homelessness) and who have a serious mental illness. It provides supportive services to help them recover the fullness of life and end their homelessness.

Housing:  HOPES Center's Rapid Rehousing program provides housing assistance for people who are experiencing homeless and live in shelter or have street outreach contact in places not meant for human habitation. HOPES participates in the Homelessness and Housing Alliance's coordinated entry program, which ends people's homelessness by linking them to housing opportunities.
