is a welcoming community hub where people of all ages and backgrounds can find healing, connection, and a fresh start. Our hub, located in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, the Center transforms underused church space into inclusive gathering areas for grief support, sober social activities, digital learning, life coaching, and community meals.

Our Mt. Union location has provided afterschool tutoring for two decades. Now, as a part of the Center for HOPE, we anticipate enhancing and expanding this essential community service.

In Bellefonte, our site will host adult literacy, grief support, neighborhood meetings, community meals….and the vision is still unfolding.

All of our programs are designed to meet real needs—addressing challenges like addiction, poverty, loneliness, grief, and isolation—while fostering belonging and empowerment.

Guided by the belief that love is best expressed through action, the Center for Hope offers a safe place where everyone is welcome, no membership or belief required.
