Helping Akron’s Homeless Population Find Hope.
Hope Farm Inc. is focused on caring for people who are currently homeless, marginalized, and feeling hopeless.
Our mission is to provide food and supplies as we cultivate relationships between our homeless friends and committed volunteers.
Our vision is to build a loving community in which our homeless friends can gain freedom to live with dignity, purpose, and security.
Our Core Values
We believe that God has called us to care for the poor, feed His sheep, and to love our neighbors. The exemplary life of Jesus Christ in his service to the hurting, lonely, and broken is our guiding principle.
We believe all people are equal in dignity.
We believe that restoration is possible and will lead to a life of hope and purpose.
We believe in the power of the community to create an environment of kindness, acceptance, compassion, growth and fulfillment.
We believe in respecting and valuing the people in our community and the nature that surrounds us.
We believe that lives are transformed when we connect heart to heart and human to human.
Event Spotlight:
Hope Farm’s Annual Friendsgiving
Friendsgiving is Back!
Each Thanksgiving, Hope Farm brings people together to serve our Akron community - sharing not only a meal, but also hope, connection, and a sense of belonging.
This year, we’re doing it again! Join us for Friendsgiving on Saturday, November 21 from 12–2 PM at Middlebury Chapel as we come together for a Thanksgiving feast and a day of community.
Watch the video from a previous Hope Farm Friendsgiving to see what this special day is all about.
Helping Akron’s Homeless In The Following Ways:
Every Monday, we provide sack lunches and supplies to 100 + people living on the streets.
Periodically, Hope Farm sponsors special Saturday afternoon events involving food, fellowship, and giveaways.
We help to connect our homeless friends to requested services whenever possible.
A Vision For The Future…
We are working to establish a permanent supportive community where the formerly homeless can live with safety and security. We envision a place where our friends can realize their God-given potential and earn a dignified income. With your help, we can provide opportunities for those friends who no longer want to merely survive on the streets.
We can help them truly live!
You will have courage because you have hope. You will take your time and rest in safety. You will lie down unafraid. -Job 11:18-19
“Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them.”
-Isaiah 58:7
Three Rings:
We like to think of Hope Farm as an organization with three rings that come together. Each group plays a role in forming the community.
