We're here for you.
HOPE United
At HOPE Calloway, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to individuals and families facing homelessness in Calloway County. In partnership with the Murray-Calloway County United Way, we are proud to introduce the HOPE United Community Relief Program, a new initiative aimed at offering assistance to those who need it most.
Partnering for Lasting Change
At HOPE Calloway and the MCC United Way, we believe that meaningful support comes from partnering with community members to create lasting change. That’s why we offer a free budget workshop as part of our LifeLab curriculum. This workshop is designed to reinforce the basics of budgeting and ensure that everyone is making the most of available resources.
This workshop is a requirement before receiving any type of financial assistance, helping you build a solid foundation for financial stability.
Our Partnership
The Murray-Calloway County United Way has been a cornerstone of community support, working tirelessly to improve the lives of our neighbors. By combining our resources and expertise, this partnership allows us to extend our reach and provide critical aid to more people in our community.
