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 our first emergency shelter "Corner of Hope" for homeless men was opened in Akron, OH located at 257 Cole Avenue. We are in the process of opening our first shelter for homeless women in Akron, OH and have plans to open it by June of 2009. In conjunction with a local ministry Mt. 8:20, we are now providing clothing and soup to the homeless of Akron on Friday nights utilizing our Mobile Food and Clothing Unit. We would like to expand to serve GOD's less fortunate in Barberton and Canton, OH. View the current DVD by clicking on this link; you may need to download I Tunes Quick Time player to view this.
