Our Mission

Our mission is about “paying it forward” and finding joy, purpose and empowerment by reaching out to the ones that are less fortunate than us and to initiate hope and encourage people to reach out to the community by teaching them how being of service can make a difference – no matter of race, age or social status.

Welcome to the Hope Bus!

Serve Others - Make a Difference!

 

The Hope Bus is touring the Nation, lighting a Torch of Inspiration to every City it visits.

 50 Charities in 50 Days!

Empower and Inspire Every Man, Woman and Child to make a Difference!

 

 

The mission of the Hope Bus is threefold:

 

(1) To bring awareness of local and grassroots charities to community residents. To this end, The Hope Team will visit selected charities, learn more about the charities through interviews, and share their stories via media sources including radio, television, newsprint and online social media networks;

 

(2) To inspire community residents (collectively and individually) to become involved in volunteerism in an effort to create a neighborhood support system; and

 

(3) To lead by example, The Hope Bus Tour will encourage charities to build alliances and share scarce resources in an effort to strengthen their collective organizations in a tough economy that is especially challenging for nonprofits.

 

 

Each Charity will host its own Event. By including more than one charity per city, we are creating a social network of volunteers, creating liaisons between different charities, and helping people see that with combined efforts, they can extend their reach and take on greater challenges than ever before.
