Hope Tree:
The Hope Tree features
specific needs of Star of Hope and its children,
homeless because of family consequences out
of their control. Star of Hope opened the June
Waggoner House of Hope on their Women and Family
Emergency Shelter campus on Dowling St. because
homeless children were the fastest growing segment
of their services. The June Waggoner House of
Hope provides supervised services for children
from infants to age eighteen in a beautiful,
clean , and safe environment. Contact

Feed a Child:
Women and children
comprise the fastest growing segment among the
homeless population. The average age of a homeless
person is 9 years. A child without a nutritious
meal in their body is unable to learn, and strive
to end the cycle of homelessness of his family.
It costs approximately $100 a week to feed a
child served by Star of Hope. Won't you help
us Feed a Child. Contact

Hope Tree for Trees of Hope
|
Give to The Hope

Categories
of Giving
Meals
It costs about $100 a week to provide nutritious
meals and snacks for each child served by Star
of Hope. In 2009 they served 668,385 regular meals
to men, women and children.
Shelter
In 2009 SOH prepared 295,921 clean safe beds,
81,630 pieces of clothing and 1,265 toys to
those who had lost everything. And 59,411 diapers
to the smallest victims of poverty!
Education
$200 will provide a child with school shoes,
school uniform, a backpack and school supplies.
School age children at Star of Hope receive
after school support with homework, tutoring
and mentoring to help them stay motivated and
catch-up academically with their peers because
homeless children are twice as likely to be
behind in school, and repeat a grade (due to
frequent absences) compared to non-homeless
children.
Spiritual Care
In 2009 Star of Hope distributed 2,668 Bibles
and held 3,292 Bible studies, chapel services
and spiritual life activities. Helping the adults
to overcome their demons will help the children
to break the cycle of homelessness that runs
in many of the families.
Medical Care
$300 provides immunizations and an annual physical
for one child.
