Parker County Center of Hope is a Christ-based 501c3 organization dedicated to reversing the cycle of poverty in Parker County through our offices in Weatherford and Aledo. They currently offer the following programs to our neighbors in need.
- Food Bank- distributes 1000+ carts of groceries to over 500 families each month
- Limited financial aid for utilities and prescriptions
- Daily meals prepared and served restaurant-style by Churches of Hope on a rotational basis, over 1,400 meals a month.
- Computer classes and GED classes
- Bible studies
- Jobs for Life program

Center of Hope openly shares the gospel with our neighbors, but in a gentle way. They never refuse services based on an unreceptive ear.
Volunteers are needed in all of the areas mentioned above, and, there are always opportunities in the office for administrative work or to help during special events.
They would love to give you a tour and visit with you about the volunteer opportunities. You may call the Weatherford office at 817-594-0266 or the Aledo office at 817-441-2442 or visit website http://www.centerofhopetx.com.
