Matthew's Hope is changing the lives of people that so many have forgotten about. Even before COViD, Matthew's Hope was reaching out to and helping people that many in society would not even make eye contact with. MH not only provides basics needs like food, clothing and hygiene products, but they offer their guests a way to earn their dignity back by learning a skill, earning points to "buy" essentials or "luxuries" such as bicycles or dental work. Matthew's Hope is truly doing God's work.

I have been affiliated with Matthews hope Ministries for the last 4 years. What I love about Matthews hope the most is that Scott Billue and his amazing staff go where most people aren't willing to go to help the less fortunate. Scott started his amazing ministries by walking thru the woods handing out clean socks and clean underwear to the homeless ten years ago. with his tenacious spirit and God's grace, here we are ten years later and in the middle of the Pandemic crisis, Scott and his team now serve thousands of people who now find themselves homeless. Even during COVID 19, Scott and his team at Matthews hope hit the streets, loaded the vans and cars with Masks, food, clothing and Medicine . Two days a week you will find Matthews hope staff and car loads of volunteers seeking out those less fortunate and treating them with respect and the utmost kindness.

Before Covid 19, Matthews hope was inviting the homeless in our area to the new 10,000 square foot facility that allows homeless people to shower, get meals, have bibles studies and get the medicine they so desperately need. They also added a wood working facility and a Matthews hope Chest boutique so those are are interested can learn a trade and or learn how to work in a store.
Matthews hope also saw the need for mental health counseling and brought a counselor on board to tend to those needs. Matthews hope has a wonderful school called a Firm Foundation that allows homeless children a safe and healthy place to learn ... The West Orange Community of Central Florida is so supportive of all the Matthews hope is doing and we all thank Matthews Hope and Founder Scott Billue for his vision . The mission of Matthews hope is not of hand outs , but hand up.... as we believe ,...
help us, help them , help themselves :) May God continue to bless Matthews hope Ministries .

Matthews Hope provides services to the homeless community such as food, clothing, counseling, showers, health services, opportunities to work restoring and building furniture and vegetable gardening. They also provide classes on financial management, child care and transitional housing. All this with no government funding. Every person in the program is randomly drug tested. When a person completes the program the leave with a job and money they’ve earned in a bank account. Matthews Hope will soon move into a permanent location and will be able to give a ‘hand up, not a hand out’ to so many more.

If I ever found myself homeless, this is where I would come. Matthew's Hope is a ministry that gives back hope and dignity to people who come to its door. As a volunteer, I realize how blessed I am to be part of a community that truly cares about the "least of these".

i HAVE VOLUNTEERED WITH MATTHEWS HOPE FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE WATCHED AS CLIENTS HAVE BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO MOVE FORWARD TO BETTER THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.
i ENJOY HUGGING OUR GUEST AND BEING ABLE TO SHARE A LAUGH WITH THEM, PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET THAT HOMELESS ARE HUMANS AND NOT ALL CHOSE THIS LIFE STYLE.
