Missions – Hope Station

Hope Station Community Services, Inc. – Hope Station offers a variety of resources to the needy families in the Salem community including: groceries, various household and bedding items, clothing, and classes for computer training and budgeting.

Many organizations assist individuals and families whose salaries are below the state poverty line. These families draw help from numerous local resources. Sadly, hundreds of hardworking people who earn just slightly above that line don’t have the same access to assistance. These are the people we want to help.

Additionally, our government system often enables people to remain on assistance indefinitely. It does not equip or encourage individuals to improve their lives. By asking our clients to pay a small monthly fee and volunteer just two hours of their time a month, we foster responsibility and a sense of ownership. Our desire is to provide a hand up, not a hand out.

Volunteers help with sorting food items, stocking shelves, sorting & organizing clothes, driving trucks to pick up & drop off shipments, and more!
