It Started with a Meal

Michael had reached one of the lowest points of his life. He was writing a suicide note when an unexpected interruption stopped him. Months later, he graduated from Breakout, Hope Mission’s year-long faith-based addiction recovery program for men. His journey didn’t change all at once. It began with a meal—and a connection that opened the door to the next step. In this special summer episode of Hope Stories, hear Michael’s story and how responding to an immediate need can become the beginning of lasting change. Plus, get a preview of what’s coming this fall, including stories about Hope Mission’s next emergency shelter and the landlords helping more people find a place to call home.
