Our Giving Tuesday Goal: $2,500
We aren’t asking to change the world, only the lives of people who are fighting to stay alive.
Will you help us reach our meager goal of $2,500?
That’s only 10% of our monthly operating expenses at One Hopeful Place. During each month we help to feed and meet basic needs of over 600 people living in their cars, living on the streets, or the lucky 67 men and women who have a bunk in one of our campus buildings. We provide basic necessities such as fresh meals, water, a place to do a little laundry, a safe place to bathe, and a chance to feel human again.
A Campus Changing Lives To Better Our Community!

When I first came to One Hopeful Place I was lost and did not know where to turn or where to start. Ms. Donna and Ms. Liz were so kind, considerate, and understanding. I have never seen two more compassionate people. I’ve learned a lot about myself, my situation, and how to move forward. I have learned to handle things in a different manner since I have been here. One Hopeful Place has helped me along this path and helped me find a job at the hotel, complete my community control, and start my new life. I love my job and my bosses. It has given me a reason for living and the desire to get my life back. My coworkers are great people and I have received praise, tips, and gifts for just being me. I would like to continue to dedicate every free hour to help the staff at One Hopeful Place because I am thankful for the support and encouragement I have received while staying here.

I would like to thank One Hopeful Place for the many blessings that have been put in my life. I was stranded in Fort Walton Beach at the end of March with no place to go. They have provided me shelter, food, and hope. Since then, I have found a great job working at a hotel on the island and friendship at work and shelter. I have a new peace in my life and can look forward to the future again.
