Hope Fellowship will be partnering with City Relief in New York on November 3-9, 2025. We invite you to join us and serve! 

We go on missions to serve others and come away realizing God is the one who served us. We go to bless those less fortunate, but we come to understand that we were the ones blessed. We go to share the love of Christ and come back recognizing how much He truly loves us and works through us when we make ourselves available to His purpose. 

THE MINISTRY

City Relief outreach consists of former school buses now customized into mobile resource centers to help the poor and homeless. Friendly faces serve up a delicious, hearty vegetable soup, rolls and hot chocolate or iced tea (depending on the season). The locations in which we will serve include Manhattan, Harlem, and the Bronx. The team will begin each day (Wednesday through Saturday) preparing soup and beverages at The Relief Bus base. We will then head out to Manhattan, Harlem, and the Bronx to distribute these items and connect with the homeless in these areas.

Total cost of the trip is $1095. This includes airfare, accommodations, location transportation and meals.
