Mobile Hope

What is Mobile Hope? Let us tell you just a few of our stories…

• A female senior citizen experiencing much loneliness and isolation with very few outlets or opportunities to grow. Where could she belong?

• A high school boy from challenging home life where unhealthy behaviors abound and he has often been left to make decisions and function as an adult, though only a child. Where might he feel safe and seen?

• A family of seven living in a single wide mobile home, struggling to pay the bills and tend to the needs of their family, but wishing they could make more plans for their future. Who can support and guide them?

• A middle schooler really struggles in most areas of his life due to many past traumas he has experienced making relationships and appropriate behavior challenging. Where can he feel accepted?

What helps a person wade through life with all of these situations and circumstances? 

A SENSE OF BELONGING AND HOPE!

Programs and services offered to the public can certainly give tangible help, however they miss the deeper needs within every person, belonging and hope. Enter Mobile Hope.  

The mission of Mobile Hope is to build relationships, hope, and a culture of achievement within mobile home communities through education, healthy activities, connections to resources, and faith development.  

Our consistent presence in the communities we serve over the long haul, enables us to build trust-filled relationships, bring neighbors together, provide safe physical spaces for connection and programs that help meet their practical needs. Mobile Hope moves in and becomes a part of our neighbors’ story, journeying together through the ups and downs of life with them.

Through the work of Mobile Hope…

• This older woman has a community of people who share life over a cup of coffee in our Hope Center every week and check on her when she doesn’t show up.

• The young man has safe adults to confide in who help him stay on track to graduate from school and ensure he has what he needs for daily life. 

• This family received support with goal setting and skills, financial literacy, and ultimately helped them find a mortgage loan option to purchase their own single family home. 

• The Middle Schooler has a space where he can be a kid and play, is seen, known and accepted by caring adults who will continue to invite him and involve him in healthy activities so he can grow within a safe loving community.

Who would walk alongside these neighbors if Mobile Hope doesn’t? 

Last year, over 13,590 people attended events and programs offered at Mobile Hope from the 432 households in the Corcoran and Dayton communities. We have expanded our presence to an additional 568 households by opening our Blaine site. With over 600 programs and events offered at each location, it is likely that we will serve over 20,000 people within the next year. Now we are situated in the biggest mobile home communities in Hennepin and Anoka counties which positions us to increase the breadth of our reach with our neighbors. 

This year, with roots deeply planted in three communities we are situated to serve over 1,000 households! We imagine how not only individual lives, but families, streets and whole neighborhoods can be changed by treating our neighbors with dignity, supporting them and providing them needed services and ultimately that they would experience living hope! 

Will you walk with us with our neighbors? 

Our goal is to gain 50 people giving $100 to walk alongside our neighbors.  We need your support. Thank you for partnering with us in seeing and serving 1,000 households this year!
