Restoring Hope
To The Homeless

We Provide A Safe And Reliable Way To Feed And Minister To The Homeless in the Greater Houston Area Because a Bridge is Not A Home

Hope Restored

Our goal is to provide for the needs of the homeless and to gain their trust.
Those needs include food, hygiene, clothing, prayer and hope for a better future. We meet the same chronically homeless individuals every week and hear the hopelessness in their voices. They have been hurt in many ways and often turn to drugs and alcohol to cope rather than taking a chance on other people to help them. It takes time to gain the trust of a chronically homeless person to show them that they can depend on us rather than their substance of choice. When we gain that trust we can help individuals realize that better future. Chris’s story in this video is one of our hope restored stories.

“Hope Beyond Bridges saved my life”
– Chris Younts

“We were living under a bridge, dirty, nasty, and we were bums and somebody would let us come into their home, you know, eat on real plates. You know, with a real family, that was special.”
– Jim Bowen

“I felt like I had so much and what I was seeing, was a lot less.”
– Nancy Frasier

About HBB

Hope Beyond Bridges serves the homeless right where they are, under the bridges
around Houston. Every Saturday, our volunteers and community partners provide basic necessities to
the homeless we meet; giving them a hearty meal, clothing, and hygiene kits. But we don’t just feed
their basic physical needs, we feed their spirit. Through shared prayers and conversation, we build trust,
we build relationships, one meal and one prayer at a time.

“Defend The Weak And The Fatherless; Uphold The Cause Of The Poor And The Oppressed. Rescue The Weak And The Needy; Deliver Them From The Hand Of The Wicked.”

Psalm 82:3-4

How Can You Help The Homeless?

When you volunteer with Hope Beyond Bridges, you help us serve nearly 200 meals to the homeless each week. The more dedicated volunteers we have, the more people we can reach and serve. There are multiple volunteer opportunities available that enable us to reach more of Houston’s homeless.

Saturday Volunteer

Every Saturday our volunteer teams cook, deliver food, and hand out clothing, hygiene kits, bug spray, and other needed items. They offer a word of hope or a prayer to those they meet. Become one of our weekend warriors and help restore hope.

Organize a Drive

Clean and dry clothing items make a big difference in the mental and physical health of the homeless. We depend on the items in our warehouse to fulfill the needs we collect each week. Organize a drive to help us clothe those in need.

Ambassador for Hope

Our Ambassadors for Hope are the voice of Hope Beyond Bridges. They introduce the community to our mission and vision for bringing hope to the homeless. If you are passionate about helping the homeless consider becoming one of our Ambassadors.

Hope Beyond Bridges has helped me see people beyond their circumstances and grow in my ability to apply God’s command to love our neighbor and embrace everyone as a brother or sister in Christ.

Kelly Bivens

Hope Beyond Bridges has helped me to see that everyone has a story. This ministry is a clear example of Jesus, who came to us in the middle of our mess, loved us and restored us.

Dillon Gooch

Serving with Hope Beyond Bridges has been both eye opening and gut wrenching. Saturday volunteering has given me an outlet to obey what the Lord has asked me to do.

Jessica Novak

Serving in this ministry has helped me accept people for who they are, not who I perceive them to be. When I pray with a homeless friend and I see tears in their eyes, I know they are feeling the power of Jesus' love.
