About Home of Hope Gwinnett Children’s Shelter

Serving at-risk children in Gwinnett since 1987, the vision of the Home of Hope Gwinnett Children’s Shelter is to become a superior, self-sustaining, transitional living community for children and young adults who wish to achieve their full potential in a loving and nurturing environment. Their premier program empowers their clients with the necessary life skills to bring peace, success, and sustainability to their lives, for the rest of their lives.

With your help, they can continue to provide these families with the support services and life skills they’ll need to thrive for the rest of their lives, and help end the cycle of homelessness two generations at time.
