History.

The Hope Center building was bought in 2006 by Tony Cooper and there was a tremendous amount of work to do before the building could be opened to the public. It was almost a two year process, from having to find funds to renovating the building. One barrier that had to be over come was to install a sprinkler system that was up to code, thankfully the Hope Center raised $41,000 and not only was the costly sprinkler system paid for but all others dept was distinguished. Finally in two years later, September 2008, the Hope Center was officially opened by Nichoa Schmidt. The very first day only three kids showed up two of which were children of the volunteers. Since then thousands of kids have come through the Hope Center, the kids that attend have gone numerous field trips, such as, Skate World, various beaches and zoos, and hiking. The Hope Center has just finished celebrating its 10th anniversary.
