Mission Statement
Opportunities for Hope is a private, non-profit organization providing shelter, nutritional assistance, substance abuse, and domestic violence services and other related programs to homeless persons, the unemployed, families, women, children, veterans, and the disable, while also emphasizing the dignity of each individual. This means that every person we serve is created equal and should be treated that way - we emphasize the dignity of the individual, and through our programs encourage and assist each client to become self-sufficient. Opportunities for Hope is working on permanent solutions to homelessness by providing a progression of emergency shelter and support when needed, transitional and permanent housing when possible and practical; and individual support and guidance to encourage and assist our clients in becoming self-sufficient and hopefully if the person has the ability to become gainfully employed and become an active participant of the community.
Description
After partnering with the Fitchburg Housing Authority and being re-branded in 2023; Opportunities for Hope specializes in providing food and shelter to those most in need. We give people who have struggled with drug addiction a place to shelter free from judgment and teeming with opportunity. Our goal is to ensure people get back on their feet by connecting to services that assist with financial empowerment, recovery support and employment opportunity.We are actively seeking volunteers to help with our mission. Please contact us if you or someone you know may be interested in volunteering.
