Our founders

A shared calling to serve neighbors

We are Tammie Hopson and William Hopson Sr. We started H.O.P.E. Through Christ Ministries so neighbors in hard seasons would have a place to find food, support, and a clear next step.

H.O.P.E. stands for Helping Ordinary People Excel, Through Christ. That phrase shapes how we serve each week. We meet practical needs first, then stay close while families build skills and confidence for what comes next.

As husband and wife, we lead this work together. You will find us at food distribution days, classes, and community gatherings, often alongside the volunteers and local partners who make the ministry possible.

  • A welcome for every neighbor, whatever they believe
  • Practical help for the body and steady care for the soul
  • Long term support, not only short term relief
