Guest Services Coordinator

Center of Hope is a nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives by providing critical resources and support to those in crisis situations. Through services like food assistance, counseling, and life‑skills training, we help rebuild lives with dignity.

(A "Guest" is defined as any person coming to Center of Hope for help or assistance.)
