Why the Hope Center Matters
Families across DeKalb and Gwinnett County face growing pressure from rising costs, limited transportation, and fewer paths to long-term stability. Poverty continues to rise in several suburban neighborhoods, and many households now struggle to meet basic needs.
​
A large number of under-resourced families are led by single mothers. Without support for employment, life skills, housing stability, and dependable community networks, one setback can push a family into crisis.
Children with a parent in prison also face deep emotional and relational gaps. Many carry the weight of separation, fear, and confusion, and often feel forgotten. The Hope Center provides programs that offer support, encouragement, and positive role models for these children.
​
Young adults aging out of foster care face these same obstacles with no consistent support system to guide them. They need mentoring, character development, and practical help with employment, budgeting, and life decisions.
​
Restore360 extends this work by serving the incarcerated in our local jails and prisons. We focus on discipleship, character development, and steady support as they prepare to return home. This work strengthens returning citizens, restores family relationships, and promotes healthier communities.
The Hope Center is guided by strong values, we work to rebuild lives, restore families, and bring stability to those who need it most. Our desire is to offer a clear path toward dignity, independence, and lasting hope for every person we serve.
