We are dedicated to outreach and advocacy for the homeless, individuals struggling with mental illness, addiction, and veterans in need. At the heart of our mission is MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE, created to fill a critical gap in services and offer a supportive path forward for these communities.

MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE, named in honor of Hope’s son who lives with a chronic mental illness, will serve as both a therapeutic employment and resource center for those we support. MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE is distinguished and exceptional because we focus on fostering a supportive community where individuals can develop lifelong skills and friendships in a loving environment. Through weekly group decision-making discussions and surveys, participants will have a voice in shaping the success and future of MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE. We will also be providing our patrons with feedback cards to ensure they are an integral part of the growth, success, and well-being of our wonderful community.

Together with our collaborative partners, our goal is to empower individuals with stability and self-sufficiency, giving them the tools to rebuild their lives. Our mission is not just to provide aid, but to inspire hope, resilience, and a path toward lasting change. Our job training program includes measurable outcomes, milestones for success, and positive incentives such as raises and advancement opportunities to encourage completion and long-term growth. Each participant is individually assessed so we can tailor training and support to ensure long-term success within MAX'S HOUSE AND CAFE and in the workforce and broader community. We assist with job placement for those who complete the program. We have employers committed to hiring and supporting their transition into work. Through education, awareness, advocacy, and outreach, we are actively working to reduce stigma and foster understanding of the individuals we serve.
