WOW!! Now that is noteworthy!

Welcome

The homeless man who stands on the corner ... the single mother in need of rent assistance ... the out-of-work plumber who's seeking truck repair ...

Who do you help?

Who do you turn down?

How can you tell if the person in front of you is telling the truth?

These are the questions that NW Hope-Net answers every day. Our mission is simple: first, we serve as a clearinghouse in the community, connecting individuals & families in need with local resources designed to meet those needs. Secondly, NW Hope-Net aids the Church in maximizing its ministry potential by streamlining its process for responding to such needs.
