30 Years of Homes of Hope

As Homes of Hope celebrates 30 years, ive been asked the question; Does Homes of Hope still work, is it still relevant. We can look at the growing Homes of Hope Movement with the 7000+ homes built in 24 nations, engaging almost 140,000 volunteers and say yes. There is still a great need for homes and people to build.

Homes Of Hope Produces Fruit that Falls Far from the Tree
Every so often I get the joy of hearing the story of a life changed through participating in Homes of Hope.
