Founded in 2006, Homes of Living Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides the framework for converting used shipping containers into functioning facilities such as clinics, schools and housing for under resourced communities internationally. They partner with volunteer groups throughout the U.S. to retrofit used shipping containers locally and ship completed facilities to partnering aid groups in communities around the globe. Homes of Living Hope works with humanitarian organizations in under served parts of the world, on site selection and shipping regulations to ensure smooth delivery and installation. The mission of Homes of Living Hope is to connect communities through service. Their projects enable large numbers of volunteers to help as little, or as much, as they are able. As a result, each converted container connects up to 1,000 people throughout a community, offering volunteer opportunities in the areas of construction, solicitation of supplies, logistics, power/energy generation, administration, international relations and fundraising. Their goal is to strengthen communities by building relationships through the teamwork required to support a worthy cause.
