BUILDING BRIDGES WITH HOPE is dedicated to outreach and advocacy for the homeless, individuals struggling with mental illness, addiction, and veterans in need. At the heart of our mission is MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE, created to fill a critical gap in services and offer a supportive path forward for these communities.
MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE, named in honor of Hope’s son who lives with a chronic mental illness, will serve as both a therapeutic employment and resource center for those we support. MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE is distinguished and exceptional because we focus on fostering a supportive community where individuals can develop lifelong skills and friendships in a loving environment. Through weekly group decision-making discussions and surveys, participants will have a voice in shaping the success and future of MAX’S HOUSE AND CAFE. We will also be providing our patrons with feedback cards to ensure they are an integral part of the growth, success, and well-being of our wonderful community.
Through connecting people to essential resources, promoting independent living, and fostering family stability, we aim to transform lives and create lasting change. We address systemic gaps and provide pathways to dignity, independence, and community well-being through education, housing support, addiction-recovery programs, and job training.
Together, we will make this vision a reality!
