What started in 1987 as a small group of pastors from the Waukesha area has grown into a mission supported by more than 125 area congregations, local businesses, and individuals. Hope Center has been serving the basic needs with financial assistance, free food, free clothing and free furniture in the area for almost twenty-five years. Our Day Center provides a social gathering place for the homeless and others seeking a place to spend time with others. Breakfast and hot lunch are provided daily. With the rise of unemployment, more and more people are in need of help and what they need is changing as well. Hope Center plans to continue to evolve and provide new and better solutions to handle the growing needs of the community. Hope Center is a 501(c)(3) non- profit organization that is committed to serving people in need in Waukesha County.
