Welcome to the "House of Hope"...
The first step for meth abused children in Cumberland County on their journey to a brand new way of life!
Cumberland Children's Center - "House of Hope" is a short-term care facility aiding children forced to endure a toxic, dangerous environment at home due to methamphetamine use and manufacture. These children are not addicts. They are the silent victims of neglect, persecution and injury. After the children are removed from the home, we offer a safe place to eat, play and rest for a few hours while waiting for relatives or foster families to take them to a new home. (Please see our Frequently Asked Question - FAQ - section referencing what it is like to live in a meth home.)
Certified volunteers furnish a friendly, safe, happy environment for these kids to enjoy as they are removed from the cruelty and chaos of a toxic meth environment, transitioning to a fresh start and a chance to succeed in life. We are a short-term care facility because kids stay only a few hours. We offer them a safe place to eat, play and rest while waiting for relatives or foster families to take them to a new home.
We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping these children and assisting those who support them, including the Department of Children's Services workers, the medical community and law enforcement.
We also assist a methamphetamine education team, a group of dedicated men and women who teach neighborhoods, businesses, churches and civic groups about the unparalleled violence meth inspires and how it affects every aspect of community life. The team’s particular emphasis is on the devastating effect meth homes have on children; children who appear to be from some third world country in another hemisphere, but who, in reality, live next door, down the street, are in our classrooms and in our stores… Children we might see every day.
They need our help.
Join us…
Look around our site! We trust you will find the answers you are seeking If not, ask us... We'll find the answers together and in the process, continue to free children from a life of wretchedness, agony and desperation to one overflowing with hope!
