Building Hope in the City is an amazing organization. They address pressing needs of our communities with compassion, vision, and sound organization. Their programs and efforts are always of the highest quality. They also partner with others and foster partnerships - which is unusual in the non-profit space. They seek to shine God's love into the world and accomplish this goal in many practical ways.

I've had the priviledge of serving with Building Hope In the City as a volunteer and as a Board member. Most people don't realize how unique Building Hope's vision is. This group is committed to seeing more churches that include those in poverty in their ministry. Many churches do outreach to the poor. Too few are committed to ministering, on an ongoing basis, with the poor. Ministry is built on relationships and the staff and volunteers of Building Hope work TIRELESSLY to create long-term relationships in the city that reflect God's love. I have never seen as group of people more committed to the future health of Cleveland and who know that the only way to turn Cleveland (and other cities) around is through God's redeeming grace. I want to put my support behind a group like this. Please join us.
I’ve been working with Building Hope in the City since their inception in one fashion or another and can honestly say this ministry has wonderful volunteers and a dedicated staff like no other. This ministry serves many, many families and individuals with a warm heart and meaningful programs. Building Hope in the City fills a need in Northeast Ohio.
Incredible organization that is true to its mission. The organization is led with a level of professionalism and talent well beyond its size.
I've been a Board Member for 2 years and Building Hope changes lives - I've personally changed just by being a part of it. Building Hope has a huge heart for people in the city who are mostly overlooked or underestimated and I don't know many other organizations who are taking this stuff head on. The combination of love, creativity, innovation, persistence and humility shown by the volunteers, staff and leadership constantly amaze me!
BHITC is an amazing non profit working to advance the good in Cleveland, Ohio. BHITC is a partner ( not just a supporter) to the community and works side by side with residents to transform and renew our community. BHITC is innovative in its approach to engage in the marketplace with social enterprise, employing and serving the community it supports. The organization helps residents restore and renew their neighborhoods. BHITC provides connections, family mentor-ship and immigration consul to the immigrant and refugee population of Cleveland, serving over 250 people each week. All of these success are possible because of the organizations strong belief that God can do the impossible through people.
I have been a volunteer for Building Hope in the City for many years. I led a Saturday morning kids ministry program with them for four years. I've worked multiple CityServe events (a day long event where 500 people from the suburbs come into the city to do various service projects). I have served on numerous committees, participated in many of their programs, provided financial support and most recently joined their board to provide support in furthering the wonderful things that BHITC is doing in Cleveland & beyond. Building Hope continues to bless so many by its various efforts to truly build HOPE in the city. And I can honestly say that God has blessed me richly from my involvement with Building Hope in the City.
