For more than 35 years, Hope Ministries has helped change the lives of hundreds of people in the greater-Barrington area. By providing food, housing, transportation and utility assistance, clients are able to make their way back to self-sufficiency.
Barrington’s Saint Anne Catholic Community’s Hope Ministries is the parent ministry of House of Hope Resale Shop, Project Hope, Hope Chest Food Pantry and Mobile food Pantry. Together, with its community programs Caring and Sharing and Grants of Hope, Hope Ministries is able to extend its mission to help the poor, marginalized and disenfranchised throughout the Barrington area.
