Adopt-A-Homeless Family: Hope House |

|
"To seek an end to homelessness in Hancock County by transitioning homeless women and their children into permanent housing and by assisting low-income people in securing housing." |
||
| Our employees participate in the Adopt-A-Homeless Family program, sponsored by Hope House at Christmas time. Our staff has generously donated items ranging from strollers to clothing, to help those less fortunate. In 2007, Charles Construction Services sponsored a family of four. Findlay Hope House for the Homeless opened its doors on November 19, 1990 as a transitional homeless shelter for women and women with children. The organization has since served over 900 women and children. | ||
