Overview

Mission

Hope of glory ministries is dedicated to helping the homeless and needy people of tucson and pima county, Arizona. Our first call is to exhibit the love of christ by our attitude and service, and then to see that christ is formed in them through presenting the gospel. We continue to work on establishing an inner-city facility, with on-site services, for the teaching and restoring of tucson's most precious resource--its men and women.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our "Feed My Sheep" program took us to several camps & other areas in Tucson. Since we go out twice monthly, we alternate different areas of town, returning to those that had the largest need. At each bi-monthly outreach we encounter from 30-60 people. We are blessed to have received 8346 lbs. of food from the Midwest Food Bank and we received a FEMA grant of $1,735.50 for food. Our personal hygiene in-kind donations totaled $493. We provided other items for our guests and clients, including lodging, documents, and storage, and purchased additional food and hygiene items.

Operating model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
