Hope Haven Gospel Mission
Our Impact
Meeting the needs of the individuals that come through our doors and serving as the hands and feet of Jesus is the driving force behind this ministry. Hope Haven certainly has a faithful, committed foundation of generous donors, which is evident not just in the accounting office but in all areas of the shelter. The support of caring neighbors helps to make a real and lasting impact in the lives of the men, women, and children we serve. Friends and neighbors from all over central Maine stop in to donate food, clothing, household goods, supplies, and even their valuable time, to help those in our community who need it most. Because of the support we receive from the community and even from beyond the borders of Lewiston/Auburn, we can continue providing much-needed assistance to the hungry, homeless, and underserved.
Providing Nourishment
Over 2,000 meals are served in our soup kitchen to residents and neighbors every month. Our food pantry is also a source of food for many in our community. We are grateful to all of the vendors, grocery stores, local growers, and individuals who provide food for Hope Haven's soup kitchen and food pantry.
Giving Shelter
Our 32-bed shelter is at capacity most nights. 11,680 bed nights are provided every year. We serve men, women, and mothers with children, providing for basic needs, clothing, baby items, school supplies for school-aged children, work clothing, and more.
Food Pantry & Clothing
Over 100 families are served through our Giveaway Center each week. Vistors can obtain food, clothing, and household items from Hope Haven at absolutely no charge. Our donors are continuously faithful to provide gently used items to us because we do not resell them to the community.
