Our vision is to free and equip men, women, and youth who are wounded, broken hearted and still in pain and suffering and make them whole again through the power and grace of God.

Who We Are

House of Hope serves people from all walks of life, in the greater Metro-Atlanta area, who are dealing with drug addiction, domestic abuse, abandonment, teen prostitution, homelessness, and at-risk youth. Our belief is a more holistic approach is needed to address the issues involved with domestic abuse, addiction and homelessness rather than simply placing a band-aid on the outward manifestation of the problem. Therefore, we address the internal aspect of the problem as well. House of Hope has partnered with area churches and community organizations to provide a full array of support for each individual including; individual and group counseling, support groups, mentoring program, life skills training, job training, and aftercare. Our goal is to provide a solid base upon which to build lives; lives that will be self-rewarding and self-supporting, allowing them to become productive members of society.  Learn more about us and what we do...

Gloria Harrell opened the House of Hope Outreach Ministry on February 3, 1997. Through hard work and total dedication to Jesus she has turned a vision into reality. The vision started from a drug and alcohol related tragedy that resulted in the loss of Gloria’s sister, Charmaine. It is in Charmaine’s memory that the House of Hope Outreach Ministry is dedicated. Gloria’s passion for the ministry also stems from her overcoming addictions, abandonment, abuse and depression, sickness, tragedies, and the loss of loved ones. She knows what it is like to be desperate and without hope. Gloria states “through the power and love of God, He has set me free. It is by His grace that I walk. God has blessed me abundantly with a godly husband, children, grandchildren, and a very successful business. He has placed in my heart a vision to restore lives as he did mine. My heart’s desire is to set the captives free.”

Broken hearts are all around us.

More than one million children have no place to call home each night.  Almost 75% of Americans are battling with dysfunctional family problems and addictions.  More than 31 million people in the U.S. go hungry every night -- more than 12 million are children.  And 88 million people suffer from alcohol or drug-related problems.

God has commissioned us to go forward in His name to impact the hurting with His love and compassion.
