Springtime of Hope is a non-profit organization formed in the year 2001 to assist the Appalachian & Local Poor with safe and secure housing:
The impoverished of southeastern Kentucky are third generation welfare recipients due to the loss of jobs since the coal mining companies have become mechanized. Left behind are residents with dilapidated homes, virtually no opportunity to build a future, and little economy to build their dreams with. First introduced to these people in need in 2003, we continue to assist those who have been brought to our attention. Springtime of Hope continues to assist the poor in Kentucky and throughout northeastern Ohio.
Our 2009 trip will serve Louisa, KY and Lawrence & Martin Counties. We will be assisting the Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center to help them with rehabilitating several buildings that will house a drug & alcohol rehabilitation program. In November of 2008 we opened our first homeless men's emergency shelter called the "Corner of Hope". It is located at 257 Cole Avenue in Akron, OH. In addition we are now providing food and clothing to the homeless of Akron, Canton and Barberton utilizing our Mobile Food and Clothing Units.
