ROOTED IN HOPE.

COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY.

Hope Community Collective is a nonprofit organization serving families and individuals across South Mississippi. We provide recovery support, trauma-informed mental health services, food assistance, and culturally responsive programs that meet people where they are and walk with them toward lasting change.

Our story

Hope Community Collective was formally established in October 2019, building on more than two decades of a community ministry that began at Woodlawn Church in Columbia, Mississippi, in 1998. As these programs grew, community leaders recognized the need to expand their reach and create broader partnerships across South Mississippi.

That vision led to the formation of Hope Community Collective as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Today, we serve individuals and families through wrap-around, culturally responsive programs focused on recovery, mental health, food security, and family stability. Our work spans Marion, Forrest, Lamar, and Walthall counties, with outreach extending into surrounding communities.

At our core, we are committed to walking alongside vulnerable and underserved populations with compassion, dignity, and a long-term vision for restoration and hope.

How We Serve

Our programs are grounded in trauma-informed, community-based care. We recognize that healing and stability take time, trust, and consistent support.

We work in partnership with local courts, service providers, schools, and community organizations to ensure individuals and families receive coordinated services that address immediate needs while supporting long-term growth.

Hope Community Collective is committed to supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence, abuse, and human trafficking. We work to ensure survivors have access to safe, confidential, and trauma-informed services, and we collaborate with trusted partners to support protection, recovery, and long-term stability.
