Matthew's Hope Summer Fund
Matthew's Hope is currently experiencing a monthly budget short fall of $50,000 per month or $25,000 per location. With the summer months fast approaching, the need for community support has hit desperate levels. According to the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida, more than 40% of Central Florida’s homeless population are children or people 55 and older.
​
Bonus: Every donor who contributes $150 or more will receive a free ticket to Matthew's Hope's Fall Fundraiser in Orange or Brevard County. We appreciate your support.

Who We Are
Matthew's Hope is a fully independent, faith-based, 501(c)3 non-profit homeless outreach, funded and supported by our community. The volunteers, community partners, and staff members of Matthew’s Hope Ministries help connect guests with various resources, services of need, and facilitate opportunities for those desiring to move forward toward a life of independence and self-sustainability.
The ministry believes in offering a hand up, not just a hand out.
Help Us, Help Them, Help Themselves!
Who is Served?
Matthew’s Hope serves the homeless men, women, and children of our community. We welcome all individuals, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, economic status, religious belief, disease/diagnosis, sexual orientation, or employment.
​
Homelessness is defined by the United States government as when a person “lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and if they sleep in a shelter designated for temporary living accommodations or in places not designated for human habitation.”
What We Do
The ministry does not take a traditional approach to serve needs within the community. Our overall goal is to create an organization that helps the homeless to grow emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and vocationally. By building relationships and providing access to services and education, we create an environment where every guest, regardless of ability, can grow and succeed in their own way.
​
Matthew's Hope is not an emergency shelter.
(14 transitional housing units are available to those who are willing to earn their way toward a life of independence and self-sustainability)
​
Matthew's Hope is not a soup kitchen.
(We have a food pantry and donated meals are served to all guests on outreach days).
