SCHEDULING A HOPE MINISTRIES’ SPEAKER

Hope Ministries has several members of our speaker’s bureau available for civic groups, churches and church groups, school assemblies and other organizations. Presentations can be tailored from 20 minutes to one hour depending on the needs of your organization.  Often we are able to bring a recovery resident to share a testimony.

The Hope Ministries presentations will overview our purpose, vision, programs and services. In addition we will provide the condition of homelessness in our country, our state and our local community and share volunteer opportunities.

**PLEASE SCHEDULE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE**
