October Spotlight – Operation Hope
Posted 10/2/23
Located in Vista, Operation Hope North County is a 45 bed shelter that provides a safe, caring, and supportive environment for families with children and single women experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives and reclaim independence. At Operation Hope residents regain emotional stability, learn the skills for financial well-being, create healthy relationships and establish housing stability.
In October we have several opportunities scheduled to support Operation Hope and make your “something” count!
