They truly care about helping people here and it shows.There are also times when they give out necessities like socks, gloves or mittens, and winter hats right there in the dining room!It is a very awesome place that is very helpful to people who are down on their luck. You will get a wonderful warm meal at the very least. Sometimes, they even give out a second meal to take with you. Not every day, but once in a while.It definitely helps people who don't have a lot of money or food stamps, to get a good healthy meal in their belly at least once a day.God bless you all for your kindness and caring hearts! ❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️”

“Nice space for a Surprise Birthday party that we attended. The elderly attendees and disabled had a very hard time climbing the stairs to get up to the party space upstairs. They have a lower space and I would choose that instead next time. There is no lot for Parking and it was challenging to find a spot but we did finally find a spot on street.”
“Spectrum has provided me a long term home and I am forever grateful for everybody who works for spectrum. I would recommend spectrum to any parent of a adult who cannot live on their own. If it were possible, I'd give my whole rest of my trust fund to all of you. Unfortunately I cannot do that, though. It is against spectrum policy and I need that money to pay the rent that I'm staying at forever!!”

“Hope For Single Moms completely changed the trajectory of my life.
I came into this community as a single mom who needed support, stability, and direction. I was navigating survival mode while trying to take care of my child, rebuild my confidence, and figure out how to move forward when everything felt overwhelming. Hope For Single Moms did not just offer resources. They offered belief in me when I struggled to believe in myself.
Through education, community, and consistent encouragement, I began to rebuild my confidence and see my potential again. I learned how to advocate for myself, access resources, and take steps toward long term stability, not just temporary relief.
Because of the support and leadership development I received, I eventually stepped into a role I never imagined for myself. I am now the Director of the Cleaning4Hope workforce program. What started as me receiving help has turned into me helping other single moms build stability, confidence, and career pathways of their own.
Hope For Single Moms does not just help you get through hard seasons. They help you grow beyond them. This organization changes lives by empowering women with dignity, opportunity, and community. I am living proof of what is possible when single moms are truly supported.”
“AgrAbility is amazing. They have helped my grandmother be able to continue running her farm in face of her disabilities. Most recently Ned was able install a barn door opener allowing her to go in out of her Barn without constantly getting on and off equipment (Which is getting increasingly difficult). Not only has this made my grandmothers day to day living easier but has also given our family some great peace of mind. Thank you Ned and AgriAbility!”

“Their book selection is personally vetted by Dr. Joel Beeke and I think it is a very solid selection. I’ve bought a few books and other items there. The prices are list price or better. I bought a “damaged” version of Nine Marks of a Healthy Church for $12 (normally $22.50) which was not very damaged at all.”
