The Hope Center was founded in 1997 by Dennis Mitchell.  The ministry started in a small room at Olive Knolls Church.  In December 1999 The Hope Center moved out of Olive Knolls Church and opened in a building on North Chester in Oildale.  In January 2001 the ministry moved to our current location on Manor Street behind the sanctuary of Cornerstone Christian Church.

The Hope Center is staffed completely by volunteers and  by those doing community service for different  local agencies.  We operate by donations of money, food, clothes, household items, etc., given by individuals, churches, schools, businesses and various agencies.  We appreciate our volunteers and those who donate.  Together we are able to help thousands each year in our community.
