Our objective is to break the cycle of poverty. We believe God has a purpose for every individual and our goal is to help our participants in discovering who they were created to be. We believe our participants can be self-sustaining. We believe through our services, we can help participants achieve that goal.
Freedom’s Hope Compassionate Ministries is professionally staffed by a full volunteer staff. Our purpose is to reach those affected by poverty and provide resources that not only change their direction, but change their life. Freedom’s Hope is funded solely from gifts, donations and grants. There is never a fee or charge for services.
Embracing the vision, Freedom’s Hope has improved the lives of over 500 individuals experiencing poverty. All of our successes are made possible by our hardworking volunteers and generous contributors like you.
A shelter guest requested help with a puncture wound he received earlier at work. The site was profusely bleeding and attempts to stop the bleeding by the client failed. The nurses administered first aid and after 20 minutes; the bleeding was under control. Our intervention averted an EMS call and emergency room visit for this uninsured individual.
A mom and her significant other with a newborn infant had just acquired housing. They had very little for their infant and no household furnishings. Freedom’s Hope teamed with Powerline Church in Elon, providing essentials for the home, a crib and a diaper supply for the infant.
A shelter guest was seen by the nurses as he was experiencing shortness of breath. He stated he had a “cold” and did not feel well. The man was assessed, and it was determined he needed immediate treatment through the Emergency Room. The man was transported by a friend to Alamance Regional Hospital where he was evaluated and admitted for pneumonia.
A staff member of the shelter requested a blood pressure check. The blood pressure was at a dangerous level for stroke risk. The individual, per the nurse’s instructions, notified their health care provider the next day. Medications were adjusted, and the blood pressure is improving.
One individual came to the clinic for a blood pressure check on our opening night. He has returned every week. Each week, he meets with our chaplains for support and prayer. The chaplain gave the guest a Bible and has encouraged him to remain engaged in a Bible study he has been attending. He meets with the nurses for blood pressure monitoring and helps with resources. We have assisted him in connecting with Social Services to apply for disability. We have also assisted him with medical appointments and medication help.
During this past year, our volunteers served a total of 3,134 hours and we received 1,125 participant visits to the center.
We can do so much more.
