Hope Village - new | North Shore Church

A secure and nurturing gated community for homeless women and their families

NORTH FORT MYERS, FLORIDA

GIVING HOPE TO FAMILIES

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to offer a safe haven where women and their children can find stability and support. Through our comprehensive services, including housing, childcare, counseling, job skills training, and job placement assistance, we aim to empower these families to achieve self-reliance and rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Our Mission
To equip and empower the homeless in our community to become responsible, healthy, productive citizens by providing an affordable transitional community.

Our Vision
To be the hands and feet of Christ by offering security, love, care, and hope through the ministry of Hope Village at North Shore.

About Us
North Shore Alliance Church owns 9 acres, using 3 acres for our church building and parking lot. We aim to develop the remaining 6 acres into a gated transitional housing community for homeless women and their children. Currently, 165 women and children are living in cars due to insufficient housing. Affordable childcare is a major challenge to their employment. We plan to provide housing, childcare and comprehensive support services, utilizing our existing 30,000 sqft building which previously operated a childcare facility for 30 years.

OUR PLAN

Hope Village @North Shore will transform 6 undeveloped acres into a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for homeless women and their children. Our project includes:

Transitional Housing Units

Providing secure and affordable housing for families in need.

Childcare Facility

Reopening our well-established childcare services to support working mothers.

Comprehensive Support Services

Offering resources such as case management, job training, educational programs, job placement and counseling to help families achieve
self-sufficiency.

WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

Sponsorship
Sponsorship levels can be awarded based on either single-time gifts or recurring donations, depending on what best suits you or your organization’s preference.

One-time Giving
Your one-time donation is crucial for kick-starting our project. Funds will be used for initial construction, supplies, and staffing needs.

Sponsors who make a significant one-time donation can be recognized at the corresponding level for a one year. For instance, a Hope Builder ($10,000+) receives top-tier benefits for 12 months after their donation.

Recurring Basis
Consistent, ongoing donations are essential to maintaining and sustaining our community’s daily operations and long-term goals.

Recurring gifts help ensure continuous support for families, funding for educational programs, and the upkeep of housing facilities.

Recurring donors can be recognized at the corresponding level based on their total annual contributions. For example, if someone contributes $1,000 monthly, their cumulative $12,000 per year would place them in the Hope Builder category, with benefits similar to those of one-time donors at the same level.
