Our Mission Restoring Hope Ministries is guided by the Biblical principle of “loving our neighbours”. Our mission is to love and serve the youth and young adults in the Ottawa area who are experiencing homelessness, are marginalized and/or exploited. We do this by providing physical, spiritual, emotional and mental supports and by addressing specific problems faced by these youth so that they may discover their talents, their potential and their worth. We live by three main core Values: Unconditional Love - Compassionate Care - Collaborative Community Our current purposes are as follows: * to relieve poverty by providing basic amenities, including food, clothing and shelter to youth experiencing homelessness by establishing, operating and maintaining shelters for homeless youth; * by providing counselling and other similar programs to youth experiencing homelessness through our C.O.R.E Program The goal of the organization has further expanded as of December 2020 to address specific problems faced by youth by: providing withdrawal management services for youth who are struggling with substance abuse; and providing emergency shelter, counseling, housing, and other support services to youth who have become the victims of human trafficking. These two new programs are under development. Stay tuned for more details… Thank you for joining us in this ministry!
