ABOUT US 

​

Charity's Hope was founded in 2017 by myself, Shirley Stewart, a successful business owner, and well-respected community leader. I started my nonprofit by collecting winter coats, hats, gloves, socks, backpacks, and lunch bags, not just for children but adults as well. I distributed them out of my own home at the beginning of every school year. I then realized that people were in need all year round, more so during the holiday season.  I went on the hunt for a service location where the most vulnerable could gain access. I signed a 12-month lease with Hillside Plaza to start. I stepped out on my faith with the expectation that God WOULD meet the needs of my community!
​
Charity's Hope is located in the heart of Colorado Springs. We serve a high population of homeless people, recently released incarcerated persons, people living in shelters, and those living in somber homes who desire to recover from numerous addictions. 

​

We assist all in need by providing food, clothing, hygiene, basic necessities, and employment lead opportunities, including resume writing and mock interview training. In 2021, the organization implemented a rent and utility assistance program to extend its outreach endeavors to prevent homelessness during the era of COVD-19. Charity's Hope is a privately owned and community-funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that missions to expand continually.
