Operation Hope Ministries began as a faith-based after-school program and all-day summer camp for children in the community, to offer a positive and life-giving environment to them, and support to their parents. Hope has served in the Jackson, Madison County community for over 27 years. Operation Hope Ministries has always provided a safe place where children could come and receive a snack and hel
p with their homework, learn important character-building and life-skills lessons, prepare for the future, and simply just have time to be a child. Monday through Friday, Hope works with children and enables parents to feel a sense of security in knowing their kids are safe and not alone, which allows them to take care of their family by going to work, to provide for them. Recently, Hope has expanded its' ability to provide further support and resources to families, through food distribution and with other donated items. This has been helpful to families in off-setting the cost of groceries and to tackle the problem of economic struggle and hunger within family units in Jackson, TN. Operation Hope Ministries operates along with The Hope Center of Jackson. The Hope Center of Jackson's mission has always been to B.L.E.S.S. (BELIEVE, LOVE, ENCOURAGE, STRENGTHEN AND SERVE) those within our walls and also the community in any way we can, to provide HOPE to seemingly hopeless situations. We desire to see lives changed and to always be a beacon of HOPE to those living in Jackson, TN and beyond.
