Our purpose at The City of Hope Project (a 501(c)3 progam) is to uplift and empower the Cedar Crest community in Oak Cliff by addressing fundamental needs such as food and clothing, while also sharing God's love and fostering hope. We are dedicated to serving individuals and families in one of the most underserved areas of Dallas, striving to restore dignity and resilience through compassionate support and holistic care. By meeting immediate needs and offering a sense of hope and belonging, we aim to build a stronger, more vibrant community where every person can thrive.
We believe a strong Christ-centered community can provide the hope ,and change needed to both prevent ,and repair broken lives. Our mission is to locate families or individuals in need, provide the discipleship ,services, and resources required to navigate life. Our goal is to interrupt the cycle of hunger, substance abuse,and joblessness in order to stop the cycle of homelessness.
