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 Restored
“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
Partner
Our church and community partners through financial support and use of their facilities enable us to meet the needs of the homeless and help them see hope for a better future.

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
