Mission:  The mission of Project H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Excel) is to facilitate a partnership between every church, synagogue, civic club and organization and low-income individuals and families as they transition to dignity and family independence under God.

Vision:  The vision of Project H.O.P.E. is to coordinate efforts that lead the faith community to the mission of mentoring families and individuals from very low income or welfare to dignity and successful transition toward self-reliance.  This includes supporting area efforts that strengthen mentoring as a viable solution to enable the plans of people improving their ability to become self-reliant.  Project H.O.P.E. will work with the community to establish and support efforts that support Project H.O.P.E. mentored participants, such as a housing shelter, a transitional housing program, the development of affordable housing, meeting transportations needs, and to encourage Individual Development Accounts (IDA) and their development of cooperative, small businesses, through which participants can share in the wealth of our free-enterprise economy.
