Hope at the Door is a ministry that provides support to people dealing with housing, food, and employment challenges. We can connect people in need with local agencies or organizations that can help them stabilize their lives,  We can also provide limited financial assistance towards urgent food and housing needs.

Thank You Sycamore Canyon!

We want to take the opportunity to thank Sycamore Community School for stopping by one day in May and packing 50 packs of toiletries. They did a lovely job and as you can see from our photo wrote inspiring notes for each packet. These toiletries will be distributed out of the Hope at the Door ministry of the parish that provides basic referrals to local social services and basic supplies such as hygiene kits and snack packs.

Hygiene kits and snack packs are needed all year!

Help us create snack packs, and hygiene kits all year.  You can either donate kits and packs that are completed or you can donate any specific items needed. We will accept as little or as many as you wish to give.

Donations can be dropped off at the Caruso Center Reception area during office hours, If you have any questions please contact Delis Alejandro at

What Donations are needed.
