Following Christ, Building the Community

The mission of New Hope Shelter, Inc. is to provide a sanctuary for those experiencing homelessness in Harvey, Marion, Butler, and McPherson Counties by uniting the local church into a nurturing community that restores hope through a growing relationship with Christ.

Our Story

On January 1st, 2017, the Harvey County Homeless Shelter, Inc. transformed into New Hope Shelter, Inc.

New Hope Shelter, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit Christian outreach ministry for those in Harvey, Marion, Butler, and McPherson Counties who are in need of one night shelter to longer term transitional housing. New Hope fulfills the gospel by providing for the needs of our neighbor (Acts 2:45) and loving them as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39). 

Founded as the Harvey County Homeless Shelter, Inc. in 2005, we have experienced constant transition. Through the transitions we have grown as a ministry and developed a program to bring people closer to Christ, stability, and hope. 

Our Practices

To ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and residents, all residents are required to follow the rules and regulations of the New Hope Shelter as well as those enforced within the Newton community. New Hope performs criminal history background checks on every new resident and does not provide services for registered or unregistered sex offenders, registered violent offenders, or registered drug offenders. New Hope has zero tolerance for substance abuse or violence. New Hope performs random drug screens and breathalyzers not only to hold residents accountable but to ensure the safety of the residents and volunteers.

We do what we can to keep both our residents and our volunteers safe and comfortable as they work together to form better lives and a better world.

New Hope Shelter is a 501c3 non-profit funded solely through contributions from area churches, businesses, and individuals.
