We can see that we have made a huge difference in our community. For some men, it’s just a safe, warm place for a few nights until they can move on, but for others, our shelter has provided life-changing assistance which has allowed men to return to a productive life in the community.
We always need assistance from individuals, churches and organizations for supervision or meal duties. You can see our calendar at any time by visiting our website at www.cp-hope.org and clicking on the SHELTER CALENDAR tab at the top of the page.
A NOTE ABOUT DONATIONS:
Monetary Donations –
All contributions are tax deductible.
You may send a check to:
Community Partners of Hope, Inc, P.O. Box 1791, Henderson, NC 27536
Donated Items –
We depend on lots of donated clothing (NEW only) and supplies to keep the shelter running and our men warm and dry. Sometimes we get donations that we cannot use and then several of us must go through them and “regift” them to other agencies. Please be sure to let your churches know what we do and do not need this year. Also, it is much easier for us if items are donated in their original packaging instead of repackaged in sets.
Donations can be taken to:
First Baptist Church (9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday thru Thursday or 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Friday)
First Presbyterian Church (10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monday thru Thursday)
WIZS Radio Station

Supplies Needed:
