HOPE SMC is looking for people in our community that want to make a difference in someone’s life

Discover how to become a Circle Ally

We are recruiting volunteers to mentor Circle Leaders while they are on their path to financial stability through the Circles SMC program. These families lack resources and social capital. Giving these families the right support, encouragement, & finding the people in our community that care, can make all the difference.

We encourage you to fill out the Get In Touch with Circles contact form below if you are interested in volunteering as a Circle Ally. We need you to share your experience navigating the challenges of life with Circle Leaders. Circles SMC will provide you with training and resources to help you be the kind of Ally our Circle Leaders need to thrive.

Do you need rent or utility assistance?

The HOPE office is open on Monday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for walk-ins. We can assist you with rent and utility grant questions or to pick up an application.
