The Center of Hope is an 80-bed facility that serves those needing shelter in the Greater Lynchburg area.

The Center has a men’s floor, women's and children’s floor, and family units designed to keep families together.

The Center was built in 2008 and is maintained through donations from the community.  Residents of the shelter participate in life skills programs that enable them to reestablish themselves and provide needed assistance as they assimilate back into affordable housing.

Family services for the community at large are also a part of our Center of Hope.  Last year, more than 6,000 individuals were served in the community who needed emergency assistance with rent and utilities.  Along with financial funds, family services also supplied food, hygiene products, and other necessities to families in need living in the Lynchburg community.

The Center of Hope serves citizens of Lynchburg, Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell, and Nelson counties.
