What Our Clients Are Saying

"Anchor of Hope’s staff are so friendly and make me feel comfortable and
welcome - and not so alone."
"They don’t judge me. Even when my toddler is having a meltdown, they support me with grace and understanding."
"The lessons helped me learn so much, and their little store is so convenient!"
"They have helped me become a better father through the classes, mentorship and the support they provide. Everyone here is really nice and welcoming and there is no judgement-and for me that means a lot. I have grown a lot not only as a father but as a person too."
"After the support I was happy to become a mother, knowing that no matter what I would have a group of people walking me through each step. The worry about money was simply washed away when I found out that we could be helped with clothes, diapers, food, and basically everything a baby might need. Not only that but I always had someone to talk to and I could be open and honest about my feelings and experiences without judgment."
"Anchor of Hope has helped me very much (and) the parenting classes are very efficient (with) lots of knowledge in them. Things that some people don’t even know or would never even think of the people that work there and volunteer there are very very supportive and understanding."
"Its just a very welcoming place to come into where you can really learn and better yourself and you feel like the people there want to help you better yourself. I have enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend if anybody needs help with parenting that they go there."
"I felt supported and safe with the amazing staff who were very helpful."
"Everyone has been amazing and supportive which has been so helpful as I parent."
"I found great information in their educational classes and their little store is so cute and convenient."
"I would highly recommend this resource to anyone."
