Why is HOPE Farm important to me? Hope Farm is a true model of Christian ministry making a difference in the community. For over three decades Hope Farm has been a game-changing outreach to at-risk boys in Fort Worth. Boys that might otherwise fall into a negative way, out of the damaging cycle of the fatherless or otherwise dysfunctional home, are given life-changing hope. Hope Farm’s after school program gives enrolled boys an environment within which they are each day nurtured physically, academically, socially, mentally and most importantly, spiritually in Christ. When a child is provided a hot meal every day of the school week, given mentorship, academic and literacy tutoring, and shown the care and love of Christ, hearts are reached. By reaching hearts, Hope Farm is able to build relationships and out of that lasting and life-changing success for the young men who graduate from its programs. Hope Farm is really set apart from other philanthropic endeavors in that it has such a personal and direct impact on the local community.
