Hope Village
- The goal of Hope Village is to temporarily house individuals experiencing homelessness and to provide transition time for guests to find good jobs and have the means to acquire permanent housing. Hope Village is located on the site of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Olympia.
- LPC has been actively supporting Hope Village with financial assistance since 2019.
- Thank you to members of the congregation who have provided a dinner to the Hope Village residents one Sunday a month.
- Some of the ways you may be able to help include mentoring residents, helping create resumes, helping with laundry, going for walks with the guest, assisting in purchasing/locating items needed for job development (for example, nice clothes for interviewing, job materials, etc.), or just sitting down with them, sharing a cup of coffee, and listening to their story.
- If you're interested in helping with this endeavor, please reach out to our Mission & Outreach team.
Hagar's Community Church
- Hagar's Community Church is a congregation of the Olympia Presbytery inside of the Washington Correctional Center for Women.
- This unique church's mission is to be a "Sanctuary for God’s Beloved Exiles at the WCCW. To give the individuals incarcerated their own Christian community through which they might explore their spirituality and encounter the proclamation and experience of God’s love. "
- Thanks to the generosity of the LPC congregation, we are able to donate to the Hagar's Community Church on a monthly basis and also as part of the Peace & Global Witness Offering held in October.
