What is Hope House?
Hope House is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1990 by churches of Franklin County to meet the crisis or emergency needs in the community. Hope House does not attempt to duplicate the ministries of member churches. Hope House provides help that many other churches lack resources to undertake.
