H.O.P.E.'s 2021 Vision by Rev. Samuel Spruill

H.O.P.E. - What We are About

Despite the tumultuous environment of 2020, Helping Operations for People Empowerment (H.O.P.E.) was able to be a blessing to many families, and I am looking forward to what God has in store for 2021.  I took a three-day sabbatical away from H.O.P.E. to pray and ask God to show me His vision for H.O.P.E. in 2021.  H.O.P.E.'s initial vision and purpose was birthed out of Matthew 25:35-36, "For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me water; I was a stronger and you invited me into your home; naked and clothed me; sick and in prison and you visited me".


Our theme for 2021 is "Restoring Communities".  The pandemic has left so many communities without hope due to deaths of family members, friends in the community and the overall deaths in this country; not to discount the loss of jobs and the loss of businesses that so many neighborhoods depend on for their livelihood.  The following vision is what God has placed on my heart for 2021 in conjunction with H.O.P.E's theme of "Restoring Communities":


  • Broaden our health care assistance to the homeless and returning citizens by including the COVID vaccine through our partnership with Covenant Community Care Clinic
  • Increase our bakery personnel by four due to a new partnership with Southeast Catholic Charities.  H.O.P.E. will provide their three hundred volunteers with birthday cookies every months, along with selling our bake goods to selected Parishes throughout Metro Detroit (Our first Parish will be Saint Mary's in Royal Oak, starting March 8th after the 11 am service)
  • Offer financial stability classes as a requirement to all participants in H.O.P.E.'s program
  • Parents in H.O.P.E.'s diaper program will have an opportunity to attend parenting classes in partnership with Catholic Charities. 


I am asking that you pray with me as we trust God to "Restore Communities" by offering HOPE.


Yours Truly,

HOPE impacts the community by the services they provide such as feeding the community, providing diapers, training skills and mentoring. HOPE has been around a number of years and I’m impressed by the CEO Rev, Sam Spruill whose heart to serve and continue the vision has never diminished throughout the years!
