Why Hope?
There are many great charities out there.
Why should you devote your resources to the Hope Clinic?

Hope Clinic is poised to become the first free clinic in the nation to fully integrate behavioral health care across all our programs. This means that no matter what need brings someone in the door at Hope—food, medical, dental, or otherwise—everyone receives an on-the-spot behavioral health screening, and immediate access to trained social work and counseling professionals.
