Dedicated to Empowering our Less Privileged Communities
Incorporated on September 24, 2013, Delta Care Hope Foundation is a nonprofit organization under 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. The group was created as a response to the increasing numbers of homeless youths, adults, and families in the Mississippi Delta area as well as the need for a more comprehensive approach to serving them.
Hence, our mission is to empower underserved communities by providing holistic developmental programs that lead to self-sufficiency and self-reliance through education, training, advocacy, and overall support services. Additionally, we aim to develop systemic approaches to combat poverty and homelessness and to enhance economic security and well-being in families.
