When Project Hope guests arrive at the shelter each evening, they must pass through a check-in area. Everyone is treated with love and respect, with the knowledge that everything done at Project Hope is to keep people safe and focused on their goals.

Each night, area churches, businesses and schools prepare dinner for 40 people that is dropped off at Project Hope ready to serve. Three or four dedicated, trained volunteers serve dinner to the guests each night in the fellowship area, and everyone enjoys time together. Following dinner, the fellowship area is used for evening programming, which can include Bible study and praise music, hair cuts, therapy dogs, general health information or a service-related program from a partner agency.

Donated by the Western Reserve Junior Service League, the front-loading, high-energy washer and dryer have saved Project Hope time, money and in-kind goods, by being able to better utilize donations. On average, Project Hope staff members wash more than 45 loads of towels, washclothes and bed linens each week.

Each week, guests meet with a residential specialist, a highly-trained staff member who often has social service work experience, to set several goals that will help them leave Project Hope for a better quality life. The RS not only helps them set these goals, but also makes referrals to other agencies in the community that provide needed services.
