Herrin House of Hope

Herrin House of Hopes mission statement: The Herrin House of Hope is a ministry that helps the needy in the Herrin area. It is sponsored by the Herrin area churches, businesses, and residents who recognize that Jesus calls us to care for one another and especially those who are unable to meet their basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.But beyond that, the dream of the Herrin House of Hope is to help provide guidance, training, and encouragement to enable many to become independent and self-sustaining. The vision of the Herrin House of Hope is to serve as a clearing house for help provided by many churches and governmental agencies. This enables those in need to easily access the help that is available and assures that the assistance provided goes to real and legitimate needs.The Herrin House of Hope was the vision of local churches who wanted to do more than put a bandage on the problems of the needy they saw every day. They wanted to provide both physical and spiritual help to families in financial crisis and to do so in a way that moved them toward being independent and self-sustaining. Herrin House of Hope not only provides a warm meal Monday through Friday restaraunt style, but they have a thrift store, supplemental pantry and provide GED classes, mentoring, and counseling.
