WHO WE ARE

CRISIS SERVICES THAT LEAD TO TRUE CHANGE.

At Marked For Life Ministries, our Crisis Resolution programs continue to uplift individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and food insecurity. In 2023, we expanded the Hope Center, tripling its physical space to meet the growing needs of our community. Our compassionate, dignity-centered approach offers essential resources and an opportunity for participants to engage through meaningful contributions, like preparing meals, organizing clothing, and serving neighbors.

WHAT WE DO

A Year of Tangible Impact: 2023 Milestones

 

Making a Difference Together
Your generous support in 2023 made a profound impact. Through our Deliver Hope Projects—which include initiatives like Love Night, Back to School, and Hope on Christmas—we touched the lives of an estimated 3,721 community members. Volunteers dedicated over 10,000 hours to these projects, fostering connection and compassion within our county.

 

Collaborative Solutions to Food Insecurity
Marked For Life’s commitment to reducing food waste led to over 70,000 pounds of food rescued in 2023, supporting not only our crisis center but also seven partner agencies, creating a network of nourishment and hope.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT FULFILLS REAL NEEDS.

Hope and Transformation at the Hope Center

 

The Hope Center's 2023 achievements reflect the life-changing support we offer:
 

  • 430 Crisis Appointments served neighbors in immediate need.
     

  • 60% of participants experienced significant life improvements, from achieving permanent housing to making strides in recovery.
     

  • Over 300 hours of service contributed by neighbors in our marketplace exchange program, building self-worth and community bonds.
     

Your support continues to be the foundation of our mission. Together, we’re building a community where hope flourishes, and everyone’s needs are met. Join us in 2024 to further expand our reach and impact!

COMMITTED TO FILLING
PLATES RATHER THAN LANDFILLS.

Through our steadfast commitment to reducing food waste, we've forged impactful partnerships with local eateries and retailers via Marked For Life. These collaborative efforts have yielded consistent food rescues, channeling nourishment to stock our crisis center pantry. What's more, this life-saving resource extends its reach to benefit seven other organizations within our county.
