As cooler weather arrives in the Ozarks, the extended forecast promises many cold nights in the near future—making it even more difficult for those without proper housing.
Branson's House of Hope wants to help those in need on the cold winter nights.
House of Hope provides a warm place to sleep on nights when temperatures dip below freezing. Additionally, House of Hope guests enjoy a warm evening meal, snacks and breakfast before leaving the following morning. Guests have access to a shower and are able to do their laundry while visiting House of Hope, as well.
House of Hope also offers guests an opportunity to relax and have fellowship in a place of warmth and safety.
House of Hope is seeking the community's help as the warming center opens up for the season.
"We would love, if you wouldn't mind, to pick up some drinks and/or snacks to help keep the shelves stocked," said a House of Hope representative. "We sure do appreciate the Branson community and are looking forward to serving those in need."
Donations can be dropped off at the House of Hope office or next door at Riley's Treasures, 215 Veterans Boulevard, in downtown Branson.
In addition to the warming center, House of Hope operates an advocacy center, helping to meet the more long-term needs of those in our community, by connecting clients with resources they need to take the next steps towards positive life changes.
The representative continued, "This is sometimes our first opportunity to make a difference in their life, and help them get to a much better place. Thank you for allowing us to continue to do this year after year."
