• Are you a Jewish organization?
  
  HOPE Community of Shalom originated as a service organization of the United Methodist Church. We have chosen to use the Hebrew word “Shalom” in our name because it expresses a beautiful vision of welcome, peace, community, and wholeness, qualities we seek to exemplify.

• Where are you located?
  
  We are located at the corner of 20th Street and Avenue T in the same building as Asbury United Methodist Church. We are right across the street from Dupre Elementary School and one block south of Lubbock High School.

• What kinds of assistance can you offer?
  
  We offer a wide range of educational, nutrition, and clothing assistance programs for all ages. For details of the various programs offered, see “HOPE/Shalom Ministries” and “Fellowship Ministries.”

• Can I do my community service work here?
  
  We can usually provide opportunities for community service hours, even for minors who have been assigned community service hours by court order. We also usually have community service opportunities on weekends. Please call ahead (806)762-0829 to arrange for community service hours if possible.

 

• Can you help with paying bills or to purchase gas?
  
  We are unable to offer these types of assistance at the present time, but will try to help you find an agency that can offer assistance in cases of urgent need.
