A Simple Gesture

We drop off a shopping bag to your doorstep. Over the course of 2 months, you fill it with items listed on the tag. We pick it up and deliver the food to food banks around Oroville. What could be a simpler way to give to those in need? Click for more info and to sign up!

Operation Hope – Food Ministry

The Operation Hope team meets at 6 AM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings to prepare and package a fresh hot breakfast for those who are hungry. The breakfast is then served at local parks in Downtown Oroville. In addition, a hot lunch is served on Fridays at The Hope Center. Everyone is welcome.

Life Skills Academy (LSA)

Life Skills Academy is a collaboration that includes The Hope Center, local government agencies, and churches to provide free basic life skills education in order to effect a positive change in peoples’ lives, helping them to contribute to the community, creating a better environment for individuals, businesses and law enforcement personnel, and even saving tax-payer dollars.
