Saying "Thank You" to you!
As we are progressing into our third month of sheltering those suffering from homelessness, we have had some great community support! We have had several churches step up and help out with some dinners here at Branches of Hope! Thank you to First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange, Upper Room Pentecostal Church, Freedom Baptist Church, and Broad Street Church of Christ for providing dinner to our folks!
We appreciate you!
Throughout the month we have various individuals and groups that donate food and various items to the shelter and some serve the homeless in practical ways. Let us know if you would like to help out by emailing us.

Our financial need.
Our annual budget is just under $600,000 to cover all the costs of full-time staff covering our facility 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing programming to help get the homeless back on their feet.
Our greatest need actually is funding, so we are asking people to just give what they can on a monthly basis to help us keep our doors open. The cost to a city or county for one homelessness person runs between $40,000 - $120,000 per year. Often the homeless end up in jail, the hospital, or the ER.
