HF's 'Connections for HOPE' outreach program
Our homeless outreach program is a vital component of our mission to supporting individuals that require basic need assistance as well as substance use disorder and mental health challenge resources. The Connections for Hope team can be found in the community Monday through Friday engaging with our unhoused population and doing our part to make a positive impact for our brother and sisters.
