VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIES

"It is encouraging to see the community working together to aid special needs individuals. My time at House of Hope stretched my comfort zone, but I saw God build character in myself and those around me. I am thankful to House of Hope for allowing me to spend time here. I'm even more thankful to the Lord for what He taught me while I was volunteering and serving."

"I instantly felt like a part of the family at House of Hope! The staff were warm and welcoming and always so excited to see new volunteers. I helped out in the girls’ flat. It was wonderful to get to know each of them and they all have a great sense of humor, keeping me on my toes but laughing the whole time. It wasn’t long before they were calling me ‘Auntie’ and brushing my hair."

"I volunteered part-time at House of Hope for over 2 months. It was so great. I really enjoyed my time getting to know all the children and the people who work there. Volunteering at House of Hope was such a great experience. Each child has their own quirks and personalities and getting to know each one was so precious. They also love to participate in activities and games!"
